Five getaways to experience Easter with your children
The Easter It is already here and we must take advantage of it. Whether you have holidays during the whole week as if you only rest the holidays, take advantage of the fact that they announce very good time to travel with your family and live Easter for everything big. What better than a family trip through different corners of Spain to experience Easter?
It's true that not everyone likes them processions, but it is also true that the carvings that leave the streets of our cities are in many cases true works of art, and that it is good that our children know the typical traditions of our culture. We propose five different plans to experience Holy Week.
Holy Week in Seville and in Malaga, Andalusia
The first destination that comes to mind is Seville, and is that the Andalusian capital is famous for its Holy Week and the intensity with which everything is lived: the preparations of all the details, the multitudinous departures, the smell of incense, the arrows, et cetera. Do not miss your Palm Sunday and the most famous Madrugá (Even at hours we should be asleep, one day is a day).
The processions of Holy Week in Málaga they are also very well known, especially for the Christ of the Good Death, which is worn by the Legion and always creates great expectation for how impressive it is when they raise it. This is the procession in which almost every year is very common to see the Malaga actor Antonio Banderas. In addition, traveling to this Andalusian city will allow you to know a lot of history, culture with its museums and enjoy its beaches.
The Passion in Valladolid, Castilla y León
We went from the Easter Andalusian Spanish, where the environment is much more different. If you are used to those from the south, it is possible that Castilla y León surprise you as they are more serious and even grim. Perhaps this time it is better to go if the children are a little older, because the figures show more blood and can impress the little ones. But, of course, it is a destination that must be visited.
Holy Week in Ribadeo, Galicia
Galicia is another great destination to spend Holy Week as a family. Its precious heavy stone villages are beautiful to visit at any time of the year, and more so with the solemnity of its processions. The one of Ribadeo is famous for its multitudinous and emotional processions.
Canaries, paradise of processions and beach
Another option is to enjoy the beaches of the Canary Islands during Holy Week. If in the rest of the proposed destinations we talked about mixing the religious tourism of Holy Week with the cultural, here we combine it with the one of Sun and beach, for which there is no better destination than Canarias. Visit any island and enjoy its typical traditions and, of course, the island's gastronomy.
Holy Week in Madrid
The capital celebrates this Easter the 30th anniversary of the Chamber Orchestra of Madrid and, in addition, the Choral Federation of Madrid and the Districts of Madrid will turn to the celebration of concerts, which will make Madrid the capital of sacred music during this Holy Week. To the great free cultural offer and of habitual museums all the activities by Easter are added to him, like its beautiful processions of Holy Week. Do not forget to take your little ones to the tamborrada on Sunday, April 5 in the Plaza Mayor!
