If it’s your first time in Cordoba at Holy Week, it’s vital that you follow our advice to get the most out of it. This event takes place simultaneously in different places all over the city and it’s impossible to encompass it all. Our first recommendation is that every day you plan what you want to see and where. Then it won’t hurt to miss something. It’s better to enjoy a little than to try and do too much, running from one side of the city to the other, never able to find a good place from which to see the processions.
Closed to Traffic
During Holy Week, the procession streets are closed to road traffic. Keep in mind that you’ll have to walk the routes or take a taxi if you have to travel further. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for you’ll be out on the streets for a long time. Don’t worry about food and drink; these days there are plenty of shops open for longer hours that sell sandwiches and drinks.
Visit the temples
You can use your mornings to visit the temples from which the Brotherhoods depart in the evening. It’s a good opportunity to see the floats dismantled and admire every last detail. In the evening you won’t get the chance, so you can give your attention to other aspects.
Recommendations for children
Generally speaking, bringing your children to Holy Week in Cordoba is very easy. There are only a few places where the narrowness of the streets or the size of the crowds can overwhelm them; in most places there’s plenty of space for everyone.
