50 EXPERIENCES TO ENJOY IN SPAIN

EXPERIENCE THE DEVOTION OF EASTER WEEK IN ZAMORA

Easter Week is one of the most solemn and moving festivals in Spain, and in Zamora (Castile-León), it is a particularly special experience. You'll notice a big dif ference between the daytime and night time processions: silence and seclusion are the key features of the religious asso ciations that come out by night and in the early morning, whereas the daytime pro cessions are full of music and light. What ever your beliefs, this is a commemoration that is guaranteed to move you. The cortege of the Cristo de las Injurias , whose procession takes place on Easter Wednesday, is almost legendary. The pro

cession of the Brotherhood of Jesús Ya cente takes place on the night of Maundy Thursday, and after midnight, the streets fill with the sound of the Miserere (a sol emn chant based on a psalm from the Bible asking for forgiveness for sins). A high light on Good Friday is the procession of La Congregación , with thrilling moments such as the emergence of the image of the Camino del Calvario and the famous bow made by all the other floats before the Virgen de la Soledad in the avenue of Las Tres Cruces. You can end your tour in the Easter Week Museum.
