Sevilla Semana Santa Balcony 2026

Does anyone have any experience or a referral for a balcony for Semana Santa in Seville? My wife and I will be in Seville for April 2, Maundy Thursday and April 3, Good Friday, leaving on Saturday. I've found 3 possible sources for a balcony "tour", but they are all on stand-alone websites, so no reviews.

We both think "chasing" the processions could be part of the fun, but I don't want to completely strike out, so a balcony seems like a nice safeguard. I can't tell how difficult or fun/annoying it would be to try and find a street view of the processions.

We also want to do La Madruga, or overnight processions from Thursday into Friday.

Our overall itinerary is Lisbon March 29-April 1. Seville April 2-3. Madrid April 4-7, and Barcelona April 8-11.

We were in Sevilla this spring and the procession was such an emotional experience. The streets were jammed packed, but we were able to see it fine from ground level. After it passed us, we followed behind for awhile, then very slowly wiggled our way along side and finally to the front again, so we could watch it go by again. Yes, people filled the balconies, and I wondered which was better to watch from above, or have it pass right in front of our eyes. We spent two hours following one procession, so we feel we had more of an experience than had we been on a balcony.
