Marbella launches a new Easter Week website that includes real-time tracking of the processions

The Marbella City Council has launched the updated website for Holy Week 2026, https://semanasanta.marbella.es, which includes all the information about the brotherhoods and fraternities of the municipality available in Spanish and five other languages (English, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese). A major new feature is the real-time tracking of processions, as the platform incorporates a real-time GPS geolocation system. The Councilor for Innovation, Enrique Rodríguez, highlighted that "this service will be operational throughout the holiday, including Maundy Thursday, a day when up to four processions occur simultaneously." He also emphasized that "it is a well-established tool that once again positions itself as a key informational and tourist reference for the city during these significant dates."

He detailed that the website comprehensively gathers all information related to schedules, routes, and itineraries of the various processional outings in Marbella, San Pedro Alcántara, and Nueva Andalucía. "In total, 11 brotherhoods and fraternities will participate, marching through the streets of the municipality carrying their Sacred Holders," he explained. He also noted that "it consolidates as a useful tool not only for local devotees but also as a tourist showcase, remaining active throughout the year and contributing to the dissemination of one of the municipality's most relevant traditions; its design allows optimal viewing on any device, especially on mobiles, where it functions similarly to an app, facilitating immediate access to information."

Growing Interest

Among its contents, the site highlights the 32 advocations of Marbella's Holy Week, the itineraries and schedules of the processions, as well as detailed information about the processional outings. New features include sections on history and participating bands, along with 'special moments' within the routes, such as saetas, petal showers, or musical performances, thanks to the collaboration of the brotherhoods and fraternities themselves. Additionally, the website includes direct links to live broadcasts from Radio Television Marbella, a historical gallery with over 60 posters since 1951, and a specific section on the cults celebrated in the parishes during these dates.

In 2025, the website recorded over 31,250 visits, peaking on Good Friday with 9,621 users

The councilor also indicated that during Holy Week 2025, the website recorded more than 31,250 visits, peaking on Good Friday with 9,621 users, "which reflects the growing interest in this digital tool." He specified that, by countries, the highest number of visits came from Spain, followed by the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France. Rodríguez thanked the joint work of all the involved departments, especially Innovation and Festivities, as well as the collaboration of the Brotherhood and Fraternity Association, "whose commitment has been key to the development of the contents."

For her part, the Councilor for Festivities, Yolanda Marín, emphasized that "we continue to bet on both digital innovation and the traditional paper program, which remains available for those who prefer it," and invited citizens to visit the local Holy Week. Similarly, the president of the Brotherhood and Fraternity Association, Isabel Mata, valued this initiative, highlighting that the website is an "open window that allows showcasing the important work behind each brotherhood, also facilitating the real-time tracking of the penitential stations."
