Blue Sky Spring 2020

Even though it seems like a paradox, Holy Week does not last a week-it lasts a lifetime.
It must be felt from within but expressed openly. Holy Week is a time to express your
beliefs. On these unforgettable seven days in Málaga, the public’s devout religious
beliefs produce some sublime moments creating a surprising balance between the
sacred religion in itself and the sacred religious followers.
Declared as a tourist interest in the sixties,
Malaga’s Holy Week awakes interest from not
only its own inhabitants but from outsiders too.
For five centuries now, the most devote and intense
moments of the Catholic Liturgy with the processions
have taken place through the towns and actually
outside of the churches.
This tradition has the same popular following not only
in Málaga capital, but in all the towns of the province.
The Penitential Station declared as a tourist interest in

not only its own inhabitants but from outsiders too. For

moments of the Catholic Liturgy with the processions
have taken place through the towns and actually

These typical traditions and rituals are not only of
historical interest but also from an artistic point of view
they are unique and fascinating. The imposing floats
take us to the most authentic Baroque Period, swinging
images of Christ and The Holy Virgins decorated with
flowers and golden lanterns, covered by incense smoke
and glorified by devotional song.
This is an event in the Costa del Sol calendar not to be
missed.
