Holy Week in Hondarribia is one of the most unique and deeply-rooted celebrations in the Basque Country. It preserves rituals dating back to, at least 1602, making it a cultural and religious event of great historical significance.
The main events take place on Good Friday, with the reenactment of the Descent from the Cross at the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and El Manzano, one of the most iconic moments of Holy Week in Hondarribia.
The celebration culminates with the traditional Procession of Silence through the cobbled streets of the historic centre, one of the most moving moments of the event. A unique opportunity to discover a centuries-old tradition that forms part of the city’s identity and cultural heritage.
