The streets of Palma and the Part Forana are dressed in devotion and tradition with the arrival of the Easter processions. The first weeks of April are also a time for festivities and popular gastronomy with the typical ‘panades’, ‘robiols’ and ‘crespells’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The celebration of Holy Week in Palma moves forward to Friday the 31st of March<\/strong>. The procession of the banners and the reading of the proclamation kick off the ceremonies. The streets of the city host eleven processions organised by the Associaci\u00f3 de Confraries de Mallorca<\/strong><\/a> (Association of Confraternities of Mallorca), with the support of the Bishopric of Mallorca. This year around 5,000 brotherhoods and 33 brotherhoods are taking part.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holy Week runs from Palm Sunday, which takes place on the 2nd of April<\/strong>, to Easter Sunday, or Glory Sunday, on the 9th of April.<\/strong> Of all the processions, the Maundy Thursday procession of the Sant Crist de la Sang<\/strong> is the most solemn. All the brotherhoods take part in it and this year it has significant changes in its itinerary. As a novelty, to find out the routes and details of the processions, a QR code<\/strong><\/a> has been set up which can be downloaded from the Facebook page<\/strong><\/a> of the Association of Easter Week Brotherhoods of Palma.<\/p>\n
