Easter in Spain
\nEaster is a traditional holyday in many countries around the world, but in Spain this tradition has a deep sentimental value. Probably because of its Christian roots, the celebrations all around the country are famous. Today we going to check some cities that are worth visiting during this 2023 Easter. 
\nWe going to talk a bit about Easter traditions in Madrid, Andalusia and Alicante. Check out why they are different in a splendid way and let’s learn a bit more about what we can do this Easter. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nEaster in Madrid
\nMadrid, being the national capital, has much to offer. But during Easter is a perfect time to visit. The weather usually is perfect around these dates, the cold its gone and the summer did not arrive yet, which results in a perfect climate to enjoy the Easter Processions, if the rain does not show up.  Also, the city clears out, since a lot of “madrileños” use these mini holidays to travel nationally or abroad. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nOne of them being the procession of the Christ of Medinaceli, also names Jesus of Nazareth of Medinaceli. The 17th century craved Christ´s sculpture brings hundreds if not thousand of people to admire it on Good Friday. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nEaster in Andalusia
\nThe south of Spin is known for its devotion and its spectacular work and dedication to this religious time. Being a penitent (nazareno) is something to be proud of, and some of them are enrolled in these processions all their life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nSeville, Malaga or Granada are some of the iconic cities that carry over the Easter tradition. Some of their sculptures date back to the 16th and 17th century, and are preserved as if they were made of gold, some of them having gold on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nThe “rosquillas” is a gastronomic tradition to add to all the religious theme. Sugar dumplings fried in olive oil, of course olive oil in the south of Spain, with just sugar or cinnamon as a topic. Try them now, thank me later.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nEaster in Alicante
\nThe east coast of Spain it is known for more than sun and beaches, even those are pretty great. But during Easter there is a specific tradition from a specific small city that its shows in the news all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nThat city is Elche, and the tradition is Palm Sunday. Dating back to 1371, this tradition is considered if International Tourism interest. Families in the city spend their whole year hand madding these authentic masterpieces using white palms from the palm threes as the main raw material. These palms are turn and braided to form some of the most beautiful sculptures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nOn Palm Sunday, “ilicitanos” (People from elche) walk around the city proudly showing their palms. Each yeah one family are picked to build the main sculpture also, each year, the city sends palms to the Pope in Rome and to the Spanish Royal Family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAs we know, Spain is known from the tourism, and 2023 Easter will not be different. And we proudly can say at Eurochange<\/a> that we developed a net of currency exchange offices all over the national territory to be able to be closer to you when you visit Spain.
