This year Easter starts on the 9th of April with Palm Sunday and finishes with Easter Sunday on the 16th of April and Estepona’s maze of white streets, decked with colourful pots brimming with flowers is the perfect backdrop for the wonderful Easter processions.
As a Catholic country, “Semana Santa” or Holy Week is very important and is celebrated with daily processions through the streets. Following these processions is a great way to explore a town and see traditional Spanish culture in action.
