EXPERIENCE EASTER IN MALAGA WITH THB HOTELS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Easter is one of Malaga\u2019s<\/strong> most important religious festivals and one of the most spectacular in Spain.<\/h2>\n

The week-long celebrations include numerous processions and events that attract visitors from all over the world. If you\u2019re planning to visit Malaga this Easter, read on to discover everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A festival of contrasts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As in all Spanish cities, Easter begins on Palm Sunday, which commemorates Christ\u2019s triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. Throughout the week, the city\u2019s streets are an explosion of colour and life with processions that make their way along the main streets of the historic quarter. The processions are organised by the city\u2019s various brotherhoods and guilds, each with their own religious images and rich history.<\/p>\n

Numerous processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A different procession is held on each day of the Holy Week leading up to Easter. The religious statues and images are accompanied by music, incense and flowers. The processions are a truly magnificent sight: thousands of people walk behind the images, accompanying them as they make their way around the streets. The processions are rich in traditions and rituals that date back many centuries and make Easter in Malaga a truly unique experience.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of Malaga\u2019s Easter celebrations is the procession that takes place on Holy Monday. It includes some of the city\u2019s most deeply worshipped images, such as Our Lady of Sorrows or the Christ of the Good Death. Another eagerly awaited procession is that of the Santo Encuentro<\/em> or \u2018Holy Meeting\u2019, which takes place at dawn on Easter Sunday to commemorate the meeting between Christ resurrected and the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

\"ceremony<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much more than a religious celebration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition to the processions, Malaga\u2019s Easter celebrations also include concerts and musical performances on the streets and in the city\u2019s theatres. Gastronomy is another important part of the festivities, with numerous traditional Easter dishes such as \u00a0torrijas<\/em> (French toast), \u00a0pesti\u00f1os<\/em> (sweet fried pastries) or broad beans with ham.<\/p>\n

The Plaza de Torremolinos crane \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Easter, the crane in Plaza de Torremolinos is used to place a large cross in the square and another on the tower of the Church of Torremolinos. The cross is a considerable size, which is why the crane is needed to lift it into place.<\/p>\n

The tolling of the L\u00fajar Bell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the highlights of Malaga\u2019s Easter celebrations is the tolling of the L\u00fajar Bell. Weighing 57 kilograms, it can be heard each day throughout the festival. It also boasts an intriguing history, as in the past it was used to announce dinner time.<\/p>\n
