Holy Week in Callosa de Segura reveals an extraordinary side of La Vega Baja’s heritage, as the drama of La Pasión, centuries-old songs and Baroque processional sculptures take to the streets of the old town.

Holy Week in Callosa de Segura, Alicante, is a deeply rooted tradition whose origins stretch back to the 16th century.

It is one of La Vega Baja’s most distinctive cultural and historical expressions, where sacred art, traditional music and popular theatre unfold through streets steeped in history.

What can you expect during Holy Week in Callosa de Segura?

The programme is packed with events, including the much-loved performance of La Pasión, staged by local residents and known for drawing thousands of spectators with its carefully produced scenes. Throughout the week, processions wind through the old town carrying religious sculptures from the Levantine and Baroque schools, while centuries-old oral traditions still survive in the Cantos de la Pasión, verses handed down from one generation to the next. It’s also a good time to explore Callosa de Segura beyond the celebrations, whether that means wandering through the historic centre, following walking routes at the foot of the mountains or trying the local food of La Vega Baja. If you want to see this side of the town at its most evocative, Holy Week is the moment to do it.
