Holy Week (Semana Santa)

When: Palm Sunday 21 March to Easter Sunday 28 March 2027

A week of processions through the old centre of Jerez, from calle Larga to the Cathedral, with the Madrugada on the night of 25 to 26 March.

Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Jerez is officially recognised as being of Tourist Interest and is one of the big ones in Andalusia. In 2027 it runs from Palm Sunday, 21 March, to Easter Sunday, 28 March.

The Carrera Oficial, the official route every procession follows, runs along calle Larga and the Plaza del Arenal to the Cathedral. Many processions also pass through the San Miguel and Santiago neighbourhoods. The biggest night is the Madrugada, from Maundy Thursday into Good Friday (25 to 26 March).

All four of our places in Jerez are within walking distance of the processions. Mirador Jerez and Mirador Sherry are near the Cathedral, where many of them pass; Loft, La Casa del Parral and Mirador Torresoto are close to the Carrera Oficial.

Our tips

For the whole week, book four to six months ahead. Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are the first days to fill up.
During the processions streets are closed and you can't drive into the centre: arrive beforehand, or leave the car and get around on foot.
If you can only come for a few days, make sure they include the night from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday: the Madrugada is the high point of the week.
