Has anyone experienced Saturday of Holy week in Granada?
Where did you watch the procession?
This suggests within the bounds of Alhambra, but i'm confused over if I need tickets (if available) in order to be located there.
thank you! I did just receive the following response from the Alhambra contact:
Only people that belong to the church association can see the procession from inside the Alhambra with a especial card. But you can see it from outside the walls anyway.
If we arriving via train the afternoon of this, I wonder if we should stick to watching along wherever the closest route is to our hotel.
If you have the opportunity to do so, stop by the tourist office and ask for the schedule showing the hours of the various local sights during Holy Week. No sense showing up somewhere and finding the place closed.
Good points! Thank you!
Processions move from the home of the tronas (thrones) to the Cathedral and back, usually by different routes. You can see it anywhere along the route. Note that times are always approximate. My experience (not in Granada) is that they usually take longer than the schedule suggests.
My daughter and most of the study abroad students are heading back. My trip is cancelled of course. I’ve wondered if they would cancel. I spoke to her today. She said shops in Granada are closing. Prayers she gets home along with other students.
