THE PASSAGE OF RIOGORDO – 75TH ANNIVERSARY

Representation of the life, passion, and death of Jesus Christ.

Special night edition, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary.

El Paso de Riogordo is one of the most peculiar and well-known religious plays in Spain. Its staging has been taking place since 1951 on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. It has been considered by some media as "the best Paso in Europe" or "a scenic representation without parallel."

Although there are traces that date it back to the 17th century (announcements recited in the Parish Church during Holy Week), we can say that the beginnings of what is today "El Paso de Riogordo" are in the year 1951. Since then, it has not only survived but has grown thanks to the contributions of all the people who have taken part in it. There is not a single family in this town that does not have or has had someone working in the staging.

It has been declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest of Andalusia and Spain, and involves more than 500 amateur actors from the municipality, in an outdoor venue of 8,000 m².

The performance unfolds over approximately three hours, and consists of 17 different scenes. A voice-over will introduce each of them:
