HOLY WEEK IN SEVILLE: A CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCE OF TRADITION AND WELLBEING
Holy Week in Seville is a celebration that transcends time.
These days, the city transforms into a grand stage where history, art and emotion intertwine in a choreography of incense, music and devotion. But beyond its unshakable tradition, this festivity offers a contemporary experience that invites you to discover Seville from a different perspective—more personal, serene and exclusive. And at the Hotel Plácido y Grata, we know exactly how to make it happen.
A journey through solemnity and beauty
Seville’s Holy Week is felt in every corner. From morning until Madrugá, the streets become a constant flow of processions, nazarenos and solemn marching bands. However, enjoying this festivity does not mean getting lost in the crowd. A great alternative is to strategically choose vantage points to admire the processions in a relaxed setting. Plaza del Salvador, the Triana Bridge or the surroundings of the Cathedral offer privileged views and a more peaceful experience. For those seeking exclusivity, some hotels and terraces host private events with unique views of the processions.
Lent gastronomy with a contemporary twist
Holy Week in Seville is also a feast for the senses. The gastronomy of this time has its own identity, with dishes that evoke the flavour of tradition. At the Triana Market, one of the city’s most authentic spots, you can savor innovative cod tapas or try contemporary versions of classic spinach with chickpeas. And, of course, the famous Sevillian torrija is a must—its caramelized version at Perro Viejo or La Campana is an absolute delight.

Art, culture and hidden corners
For those who want to immerse themselves in the Sevillian spirit without the hustle of the processions, the city offers hidden gems filled with art and history. Visiting Casa de Pilatos or the Palacio de Dueñas allows you to explore Seville’s aristocratic charm in a serene setting. The Museum of Fine Arts, with its collection of Baroque paintings depicting the Passion of Christ, is the perfect place to connect with sacred art from a more intimate perspective.
Experiencing Madrugá differently
Madrugá is the most emblematic night of Seville’s Holy Week. La Macarena, El Gran Poder, and Los Gitanos processions move through the city in an atmosphere of solemnity and devotion. However, it is also a night when Seville’s nightlife takes on a different energy. For those looking for an alternative plan, flamenco venues and hidden cocktail bars provide an equally unforgettable experience.
A sanctuary in the heart of Seville
After a day filled with emotions and discoveries, nothing is better than finding a peaceful retreat at Hotel Plácido y Grata. Our space is an oasis of tranquility, where design, comfort and hospitality blend to offer a unique stay in the city.
