Holy Week of Vélez-Málaga
Easter Week in Vélez-Málaga has been declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest in Spain. 19 cofradías participate in its processions. The main characteristics which deserve to be mentioned include the very slow swaying of its thrones with their beautiful floral decorations and a museum of Easter Week itself, which is accessible and can be visited in the church of Santa María de la Encarnación. Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) and Viernes Santo (Good Friday) are the most important days in terms of the number of brotherhoods and the size of thrones. The processions travel round the Plaza de la Constitución, calle Salvador Rueda, Plaza San Juan de Dios, calle Felix Lomas, Plaza de Reyes Católicos and the Plaza de las Carmelitas.
