Step into one of Spain’s most profound and visually striking traditions—Semana Santa in Málaga. In this very special episode of the Málaga Radio Weekly Diary, Carmen and Baptiste slow the pace and guide you through the soul of Holy Week on the Costa del Sol.
📿 From the heavy silence of candlelit processions to the brass bands echoing through historic streets, we explore the deeper meaning behind the spectacle. This is about more than pageantry—it’s about family, faith, community, and identity.
👣 Learn what to expect if you're visiting: the crowds, the candles, the brotherhoods, the anticipation. Discover the unspoken rules, the emotional beats, and the best times and places to witness the city at its most united and alive.
💬 Along the way, we reflect on how this tradition continues to shape modern Málaga—and why it still moves generations, believers and non-believers alike. This is not a tourist checklist. It’s an invitation to feel the city. Whether you’re attending your first Semana Santa or reliving childhood memories, this episode offers a window into something uniquely powerful.
🎧 Press play, light a candle—and experience Semana Santa, Málaga-style.
