Tickets for the first Semana Santa processions in Lorca go on sale on March 31

A chance to see the renowned Easter processions of Lorca, an event of International Tourist Interest

The spectacular Semana Santa processions of the city of Lorca are almost upon us once again and although tickets for seats alongside the main procession route are no longer available – they were sold out weeks ago, apparently – there’s still a chance to book your spot for the first two parades of the week, on Friday of Sorrows (April 11) and Palm Sunday (April 13).

The prices of these seats are set this year at 9 euros, as opposed to 7 last year, an increase which reflects the huge demand as visitors flock to Lorca to see an event which has been awarded International Tourist Interest status due to the colour and spectacle with which the city celebrates Holy Week.

Ticket sales begin on Monday March 31 at the headquarters of the Paso Blanco and Paso Azul brotherhoods, in the convent-churches of Santo Domingo and San Francisco.
