✝ Holy Week in Ferrol
🌍 International Tourist Interest
Ferrol's Holy Week has been a Festival of International Tourist Interest since 2014 (national since 1995). Its first documentary reference dates from 1616: over 400 years of living history.
⚓ A character of its own
Its distinctiveness comes from the naval city: the tradition took shape with people who came from all over Spain to work in the shipyards and the Navy, blending styles and ways of living the Passion. The result is a Holy Week unlike any other.
🕯 Processions and big days
From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, some 25 processions take to the streets, run by five brotherhoods. The busiest days are Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, through the Esteiro and A Magdalena neighbourhoods.
