More information on Semana Santa Marinera

Every year in the Cabanyal-Canyameral and Grau districts in the seafaring area of Valencia you can witness traditional Easter Week celebrations, some of which date back to the 15th century. The members of the different religious cofradías (brotherhoods), such as the Pretorians, Sayones (bailiffs), Granaderos (grenadiers), Lonjinos and Penitents (or Vestas), don elaborate costumes or the traditional conical hoods in the case of the Penitents, while others interpret biblical characters such as Mary Magdalene, Salome, Christ and Pontius Pilate. The most important events take place on Holy Thursday and Friday, as well as on Saturday with the trencà de perols and the procession on Easter Sunday. These are all good days to try local cuisine as well, especially paella made with cod and cabbage, marinades of all sorts, and titaina, a stew made from garbanzos, white beans and spinach.
