A restrained, seafaring Holy Week, with processions winding through the old town beside the Charco de San Ginés. Its signature moments include the 'La Burrita' procession that opens the week on Palm Sunday from San Ginés church, and the Holy Wednesday and Good Friday processions, in which the Discípulas take part dressed in black mantilla and veil as a sign of mourning. Dates change every year with the liturgical calendar.
