Easter week in Cordoba

Passion and emotion in a historic centre which has been declared a World Heritage site by the UNESCO.

The city of Cordoba celebrates this event with over 30 religious processions whose hallmark is their silence and emotion. Some of these processions are centuries old, and the best-known include 'El Rescatado', which takes to the streets on Palm Sunday; 'El Cristo del Remedio de Ánimas', on Easter Monday; 'Nuestra Señora de la Paz y la Esperanza', on Easter Wednesday; 'Nuestra Señora de las Angustias' or 'El Esparraguero', on Maundy Thursday; and 'La Virgen de los Dolores', on Good Friday.
