Easter week in Alcalá de Henares

The Heritage City of Alcalá de Henares, in Madrid, celebrates this religious festival with up to eight processions of brotherhoods meandering through its old quarter.

It is one of the most traditional festivals in the city, which dates back to the 16th century. You can enjoy eight religious processions, visits to the monumental settings along the route, and a cake made at the local pastry shops at this time of year: Penitentes.
