Holy Week Marbella


Event details

29 March 2026 until 5 April 2026

This celebration is part of the cultural activities in Marbella. It is a popular religious expression deeply significant for all Marbellíes, as well as for the numerous tourists who attend this traditional event.

During the Holy Week dates, the city commemorates the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. It constitutes one of the most genuine expressions of Andalusian Christian sentiment, in which the brotherhoods carry out solemn processions, taking to the streets "thrones with images" (pasos) of great historical-artistic value. The "thrones" are carried by men who shoulder the poles. Currently, nine brotherhoods remain, notably those from Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro Alcántara.


Curiosities
The Holy Week in Marbella was rediscovered in the mid-nineties, after being forgotten for years due to the media interest generated by the Marbella jet set.

Later, this celebration was revitalized and gained much prestige thanks to the efforts of the residents and its beautiful processions through the old town. Other traditions such as the distribution of olive oil cakes during the early morning have also been revived.
