Experience the most spectacular week in Andalusia! 🇪🇸From March 29 to April 5, 2026, Málaga transforms into a stage for raw passion, tradition, and the legendary "Thrones" (Tronos) weighing over 5,000kg. Whether it’s the joyful palms of Sunday or the haunting silence of Good Friday, this is an event you have to see to believe.
✨ 2026 Highlights You Can’t Miss:
The Spanish Legion: Watch the "Bridegrooms of Death" disembark at the port and march through the city (Thursday, April 2).
The Prisoner Release: Witness a centuries-old royal tradition at the Cathedral (Wednesday, April 1).
Antonio Banderas: Keep an eye out on Palm Sunday for Málaga's most famous son participating in the processions.
The Midnight Silence: Experience the city lights turning off as the Servitas move through the darkness.
⚠️ Pro Tip: The streets get coated in candle wax by mid-week. It is as slippery as ice! Wear rubber-soled shoes and bring plenty of patience for the crowds.
