Easter week in Sanlúcar de Barrameda

Easter week in Sanlúcar de Barrameda is one of the greatest religious, cultural, festive and tourist events which takes place every year in the city where the Guadalquivir flows into the sea.
Records show that the brotherhoods of Sanlúcar de Barrameda have been representing the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ since the 15th century.
Sanlúcar has a wealth of images, particularly extraordinary being the image of the Cristo de la Veracruz, attributed to Francisco de Ocampo in 1620; and the Santísimo Cristo de la Expiración, considered to be one of the hundred best carvings in Spanish imagery.
The beauty of its narrow streets and its rich historic and artistic heritage with numerous sacred temples form an incomparable setting for the processions of the Religious Brotherhoods.
