Spanish courses and Semana Santa 2014 in Bilbao

At our Spanish School in Bilbao - Instituto Hemingway - we are all set to celebrate Semana Santa (Holy Week) to the max and to introduce our students of the Spanish language to this traditional celebration.

As you may well know, Semana Santa is one of the most popular religious holidays in the country, and the Spaniards, and not just them, celebrate it with the utmost enthusiasm.

Possibly the most famous of the celebrations, are those that take place in the South of Spain, where the events are so impressive and unique, that the festivals have been even declared as Fiestas of International Tourist Interest. These include Semana Santa in Sevilla, with its spectacular processions, and Malaga, where every year they release a prisoner.

One thing is for sure, every city in the Peninsula plays host to a huge variety of events and great traditions during Semana Santa. And the same goes for Bilbao.

If you would like to enjoy this very special time, don't miss out on the processions.

This Monday, at 8:30 you can check out the Procesión del Nazareno, which is one of the most popular processions here. Throughout the week, there will be at least one procession a day, until Sunday 20th April.

For more information regarding each procession, you can consult the Program for Semana Santa.

And moreover, in order for our students to discover these popular and typically Spanish traditions, we have not failed to include some of the most famous processions in our program of free cultural activities.

If you would love to enjoy Semana Santa with great company, don't hesitate to come with us.
