But since moving to Spain, Easter has become something entirely different. Here, Semana Santa doesn\u2019t start with bunnies \u2014 it starts with drums. Big ones. The kind you feel pounding in your chest.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"871\">Semana Santa \u2014 Holy Week \u2014 is not a cheerful family celebration with decorated branches. It\u2019s a deeply rooted tradition where religion, culture, and raw emotion collide. And especially in Andalusia, it\u2019s an experience you won\u2019t forget anytime soon.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"871\"><strong>Personal tip: <\/strong>Want to truly experience it? Head to Seville or C\u00f3rdoba on <em data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2333\">Maundy Thursday<\/em> (10 April) or <em data-start=\"2337\" data-end=\"2352\">Good Friday<\/em> (18 April). Bring tissues. And comfortable shoes.   <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"913\">Chill-inducing processions<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"1390\">The first time I witnessed a procession, I was completely overwhelmed. Thousands of people in the streets, an almost sacred silence, and then suddenly, a slow, solemn parade of men in pointed hoods (yes, you\u2019ll have to separate that image from what you might think) carrying a giant statue of a saint on their shoulders. The air is thick with incense, and somewhere from a balcony, someone sings a <em data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1297\">saeta<\/em>\u2014a raw, emotional, almost sobbing song, no microphone, but you hear it. And you feel it.   <\/p>\n<h4>Every city has its own character<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1806\">In M\u00e1laga, Semana Santa is exuberant, almost theatrical. In Seville, it\u2019s intense and awe-inspiring, with the famous <em data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1565\">hermandades<\/em> (brotherhoods) walking the same routes they have for centuries. In smaller villages, it\u2019s more modest and personal. But everywhere, one thing holds true: Semana Santa is not just an event \u2014 it\u2019s a deeply rooted religious experience that connects generations.   <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1856\">Want to experience it for yourself? This is the moment. <\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2250\">Semana Santa 2025 begins on <strong data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1909\">Palm Sunday, 13 April<\/strong>, and ends on <strong data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1947\">Easter Sunday, 20 April<\/strong>. Whether you head to the big cities or stay in your local village, it\u2019s worth taking the time to feel the silence in the streets, hear the rhythm of the drums, and immerse yourself in a Spanish ritual that goes beyond religion. It\u2019s tradition. It\u2019s emotion. It\u2019s culture in its purest form.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019d asked me a few years ago what I associated with Easter, I probably would\u2019ve mumbled something about chocolate eggs, brunch at my parents\u2019 place, and maybe a trip to IKEA on Easter Monday.
