Different, plural and unique are three frequently used adjectives when asked to describe the province of seville in the broadest sense. a difference and a richness in its way of being marked by the traces of different cultures throughout its history.

these peculiar forms of being and feeling are reflected in traditions revealed with an unusual force during the Holy Week. Because the Holy Week, name of a religious event associated with the city of seville via an inevitable and well deserved binomial, focuses the eyes of the whole world, on the eve of the springtime, with an abundance of sentiment, religiosity, art and aesthetics.

But there is another Holy Week, of the other seville, which displays its colors in the villages of the province, also in the prelude to springtime.

a Week of Passion that reveals -as well as the feeling and spirituality- the heritage, the culture and the traditions of our municipalities.

Because our province is a treasure for cultural tourism and one of religious motivation. not in vain, there are 14 villages who have declared their Holy Week as an event of national tourism Interest in andalusia. the artistic heritage, the crafts, the embroidery, the imagery and in general the whole culture linked to the Holy Week in our towns, are attractive enough to consider this province as really unique.

a religious tourism which opens up a wide range of possibilities and to which we dedicate our efforts and work to realize specific proposals through routes of the heritage, crafts, gastronomy or other religious display and events throughout the year, in the municipalities of the province of seville.

From the Provincial Council of seville, we want to continue influencing the momentum of these our traditions and promote them outside our borders. this comprehensive guide is a good example of that, because if there is another seville, there is another Holy Week too.

Fernando Rodríguez villalobosPresident of the Provincial Council of Seville

PASSION FOR THE PROVINCE

Holy Week is one of the most important events of seville, and this has been reflected for centuries in the 104 municipalities of the entire province, In fact, in 14 of them, Holy Week is considered as an event of national tourism Interest of andalusia: alcalá de Guadaíra, alcalá del río, Carmona, Castilleja de la Cuesta, Coria del río, Écija, estepa, Guadalcanal, la roda de andalucía, las Cabezas de san Juan, Marchena, Morón de la Frontera, osuna y Pilas. throughout this guide we will place special emphasis on them, but without forgetting the rest, where the quality of the brotherhoods is always increasing.

the brotherhoods of the municipalities of seville have contributed to the enhancement and glory of the Holy Week. Heirs of a centuries-old devotion, they provide with each one of the images through the streets of the towns, moments of solemnity, meditation and faith towards our lord Jesus Christ, attracting every year more followers to enjoy it. as spring blooms, the province of seville is full of tradition, art, passion, glory… to commemorate the Passion, Death and resurrection of our lord. a Marian fervor that transcends borders, a common feeling forged and consolidated with the passing of the years.

these brotherhoods are responsible for making sense of the Holy Week forming processions of penance and accompanying the sacred titulars, working right through the year so that over these days people can enjoy moments that will remain foreveretched on their mind. there is no special municipality or brotherhood, but all together with a continuing effort, they give us these unique moments.

this guide aims to show the exuberance of the sacred art of the province of seville, in addition to paying tribute to the great scenic and monumental treasure of our towns. the guide is divided into six regions containing all the municipalities of the province. Within each region, you will find information on each brotherhood by location, with the most characteristic features. at the end of that information you can find additional facts about some municipalities, highlighting aspects of their processional routes, as well as useful information, important sites to visit and the gastronomy of the year at that time. there are also other interesting sections to better understand the rituals and customs of this religious event.

this guide has been prepared with a great respect and affection towards the most important traditions of each municipality. For this purpose, it is been created a documentary source involving nearly three hundred brotherhoods.

With these lines, we want to thank for their assistance every corporation, municipality, brotherhood… who, selflessly, with much interest and cooperation, have contributed to the realization of this Guide to the Holy Week in the province of seville.

THE RELIGIOUS FLOAT “PASO”: MOUNTING, FLORAL ADORNS, MELTING THE WAX, CLEANING THE SILVERWARE…

Countdown to Holy Week begins in lent as preparations are intesifying in all the temples and Brotherhood Houses of each of the sodalities “Cofradías” forming processions of penance.

normally, it all starts by cleaning the embroidery and the gold or silver ware of the floats: the silver or golden poles supporting the ornate canopy, the candles, the small grilles “respiraderos” on each side of the float… often, the provost is responsible for coordinating this work for he is the person appointed by the Governing Board “Junta de Gobierno” and, among other functions, ensures that everything about the mounting of the float is keeping the right pace, in addition to ensuring the preservation of the heritage.

outside in the street, the foreman “capataz” is in charge of making “la igualá” in order to get the best team of bearers “costaleros”. another work, prior to the procession of the brotherhood, lies in melting the wax of the candles. It is a ritual in which they place each of the candles, one by one, in the candlesticks, once it is fixed to the float.the flowers are placed the day before the procession, often very differents, exotic flowers or much more classic native species. For the images of Virgin Mary, white or pastel shade flowers are widely used: gladiolus, orchids, iris, orange blossoms, roses… as for the floats of the Christ or Mistery floats, the predominant colour is red, although the species can be the same. It depends on the brotherhood.

THE SOUND OF THE HOLY WEEK: BANDS AND SAETAS

the music of the Holy Week is provided by the sodalities “Cofradías”, whose sounds accompany the processions of penance.

silence is one of the most characteristic sounds of a procession, although it is unimaginable without a beating of a drum or a bugle chord.

Bands like “la Presentación al Pueblo” from Dos Hermanas, “santa Cecilia” or “la Virgen del Castillo” from lebrija, “nuestra señora de la Granada” from Guillena, the “Filarmónica” from Pilas, the “Filarmónica del Carmen” or “nuestra señora de la oliva” from salteras (this is one of the oldest Bands in the region of el aljarafe), among many others, are proper names of this kind of music in our land.

as for the “saeta” (literally, arrow), it is a religious song without musical accompaniment, sung by gender specialists and addressed to each titular image of the corporations. lyrics are based on passages relating to the Passion of Jesus Christ. It is an improvised music you can enjoy only during the Holy Week and has its roots in andalusia.

since 1986 Marchena has been home to one of the most important schools for learning how to sing the “saeta”.

THE CLOTHES OF THE “NAZARENO” PENITENTS

the titular images in the procession of every brotherhood are accompanied by the “nazarenos”. one of the most important and characteristic elements of this clothing is the “capirote” pointed hood, this cone shaped hood is traditionally made of cardboard, although since some years ago it is also made of plastic grid, much more practical and durable.

the clothing of the nazareno is composed of several pieces: robe-tunic, mask-hood, cloak, girdle-cord, gloves… that change according to the rules “reglas” of the sodality or brotherhood.

these garments are often made of twill or “ruan”, a very versatile fabric. Full tunic-robes pieces ranging between 150 to 600 euro, in the case of using velvet.

It is a territory rich in olive groves, vines and diverse fruit and of course rich in history and art, with a strong Brotherhood tradition, reflected in the almost forty Hermandades doing their processions of penance throughout the whole territory.

First of all, the Via Crucis –stations of the Cross of el aljarafe are held in Itálica, santiponce’s municipality, on the first saturday of lent, and are considered a national tourism Interest of andalusia.

tartessos, romans, Muslims… this land is a rich mix of civilizations and cultures, which attracts thousands of visitors because of the splendid cultural and artistic heritage. today, this area of the periphery of seville has a growing high population due to the proximity to the city as well as the climatic conditions and the landscape, making this region a true reference for the entire province.

the most important and representative event is the Holy Week. on easter sunday this village is dyed in two colors, red for the brotherhood of the apóstol santiago of the square and pale blue for the brotherhood of la Inmaculada Concepción of calle real. that day has been catalogued a national tourism Interest of andalusia in January 20, 1999.

so are celebrated the traditional “vueltas” -go round- in which both brotherhoods put their respective banners “simpecaos” on the streets, singing sevillanas as a witness. In the afternoon, the titular images of each one of these brotherhoods form a procession along the streets of Castilleja de la Cuesta in “Paso de Gloria”, accompanied by the Brothers.

You can’t miss out in this town the old palace of the Dukes of Montpensier, where the “Conquistador” Hernán Cortés died. It is very important too the Church of santiago el Mayor or the Church of nuestra señora de la Concepción, and the Hermitage of nuestra señora de Guía.

among the most typical sweets are the ring-shaped rolls “roscos manta”, the “pestiños”, “rosquitos”, “piñonates” and special French toast “torrijas”.

It is a very solemn procession which brings together many of the faithful devotees who don’t want to miss the unrepeatable and beautiful images through the streets.

When visiting this village during these days you can’t miss out the 18th century Parish Church of santa María de las nieves, of an important artistic value inside. and the Hermitage of san Miguel, where is the Inmaculada Concepción is another among the most characteristics sites of this town.

ALCALÁ DE GUADAÍRA

the locals live vehemently their Week of Passion. Good Friday is the big day for all. late night -or early morning- the brotherhood of nuestro Padre Jesús nazareno, María santísima del socorro and san Juan evangelista goes through the streets of the town for more than eight hours.

this corporation has a group of “armaos” -lit. armed people- and jewish “judíos” escorting the float of our lord, they announce on Holy thursday morning the “sentencia de Cristo”, the sentence of Jesus Christ, and they are in charge of staging the scene of the “Prendimiento” (the arrest).

next to san roque Chapel occurs the “little runs”, the “Carreritas de san Juan”, moment in which the three floats meet. the Holy Week of alcalá de Guadaíra has been declared of national tourism Interest of andalusia in september 2001.

In this municipality certain monuments should be highlighted such as the “Dragon bridge” (Puente del Dragón), the only figurative bridge in the world. the Dolmens of Gandul, the Fortified Medieval enclosure or the Mills on the banks of Guadaíra river, as well as santiago el Mayor Parish-Church, san sebastián Parish-Church or san Miguel Church, among others.

among the most typical dishes is the “cocido de acelgas en colorao” (chard stew “in red”) or the “ajo meneao”, and sweets as the “torta de alcalá” (cake) or the “bizcotelas” filled biscuits, among others, without underestimating the well known bread (pan) of alcalá de Guadaíra, rated as one of the best in spain.

CARMONA

Holy Week in Carmona takes place between Palm sunday and Holy saturday and it has been declared as national tourism Interest of andalusia since December 1999. there are a total of eight brotherhoods of penance. among these corporations should be noted the Cristo de la amargura, oldest processional image in andalusia, dated in 1521. the most characteristic of this holiday week is enjoying the image of the floats through the main streets of the municipality, mostly narrow and always full of faithful devotees.

Holy Monday, from san Felipe Church, the brotherhood of señor de la amargura and María santísima del Mayor Dolor makes processional exit. exit and entry to the temple are especially difficult because of the ogival, pointed, double gate forcing the bearers to make a great effort on their knees.

one of the most characteristic constructions in Carmona is the walled enclosure. In 1868 was accidentally discovered a roman necropolis of a great historical value. Churches as san Felipe, san Pedro, el salvador, Prioral (priory) de santa María, san Bartolomé or the Convent of santa Clara, are part of the most important historical heritage of this municipality.It is worth noting typical dishes such as the tomato soup, spinach with chickpeas or the potatoes “en amarillo” with codfish. sweets as the most popular “english cake”, the chestnut stew with cinnamon or the “torrijas” with sweet wine.

ÉCIJA

this municipality of the province of seville is the only with up to 14 brotherhoods forming processions of penance during the Holy Week. In september 1998, the processions in their entirety were declared as national tourism Interest of andalusia.

Écija bends over backwards for its Great Week as shown every year by the locals adorning the village the best they can in order to make the visitor feel at home. When on easter sunday (resurrection sunday) the last of thebrotherhoods make their entrance into Mayor de santa Cruz Parish-Church, locals do not think Holy Week is over, but that there is one day less until the next Palm sunday.

It should be noted as buildings of religious architecture the Church of santiago, santa María, san Juan, san Gil Church and Mayor de santa Cruz Parish-Church.

the cuisine of Écija is configured with a basis of tradition and recipes preserved through the ages with each of the civilizations that have passed by this municipality. the “espinacas labradas” - “carved spinach”, the “flamenquín” - meat and ham roll, the “sopa de gato” - “soup of cat”, olive oil cakes, the “bizcochos marroquíes” - sponge cake, or the “pestiños” are some specialties of the rich gastronomy of this municipality.

MARCHENA

this is one of the towns in which Holy Week has a special taste of authenticity, history and true tradition.

locals know how to lovingly care for every detail in order to this Week of Passion be different each year while keeping the old taste. It is considered as one of the most “romantic” Holy Week because keeping many elements of nineteenth century. since June 2001 has been catalogued as an event of Cultural Interest in andalusia.

and this Holy week has its own sounds too, the old saetas,

furthermore, this is one of the birthplaces of this “sung prayer”. the Passion is still staging in Plaza arriba square, by reading Pilate’s sentence, the “Verónica”, and the “Pregón del angel” -announcement of the angel-.

From Palm sunday to resurrection sunday which is the day dedicated to visit the “Pasos” -floats in the temples, Marchena offers to its visitors many unforgettable as unrepeatable moments that will remain in their memory.among the most outstanding monuments are san Juan Bautista Church, the urban Wall, the arch of the rose “arco de la rosa” or the Castle “Castillo de la Mota - Palacio Ducal”, among others.

In pastry, highlighting the “tartas de hojaldre” pie pastry, “bizcochos” sponge cake, or the butter cakes “tortas de manteca”. among the most typical dishes, the spinach with chickpeas, the “marchenero” stew, cod in sauce and tomato soup.

ESTEPA

Holy Week is one of the most important events of every year, and has beendeclared of national tourism Interest in andalusia since June 2001. the “Carrera oficial” -official route- in estepa begins at the corner of Cristo street and runs to the corner with Padre alfonso street. all the brotherhoods pass through that common place. so, it is a point of a great interest to enjoy the processional cortège during all the week.

From Palm sunday, with the “Borriquita”, the “Hermandad de los niños” (brotherhood of the children) to Holy saturday with “el santo entierro” brotherhood, all those visiting estepa will be dazzled by the solemn atmosphere in every corner of this municipality.

among the most important buildings it is noteworthy the “torre del Homenaje” tower and the “torre de la Victoria”, the walled enclosure of the alcázar (15th century), Churches as santa María de la asunción, nuestra señora de los remedios, san sebastián, Del Carmen or santa Clara Convent and the Castillo de la Mota - Palacio Ducal, Castle-Palace and the Casa Palacio Marqués de Cerverales.

the typical sweet par excellence is the well known “mantecado” special Christmas sweet with almonds, flour and lard. “rosquitos de almendras trenzados” -ring shaped pastry with almonds- the “gachas” porridge, the “honey flowers”, “pestiños”, “sopaipas” and “hochíos”.

OSUNA

the streets of this village are fully decorated during its Great Week. ten cofradías-brotherhoods form procession to do processions of penance inside one of the most important celebrations of la Campiña region. It was declared of national tourism Interest in 1999. one of the leading aspects of this Holy Week is the particular way they have to carry the floats, not by “men with a sack” (lit. “Costaleros”, bearers) but on their shoulders inside the float. some brotherhoods have changed to the traditional style, as the most of the corporations of the province, although others are still keeping the old style.

oldest brotherhood is la Vera-Cruz, with almost 500 years of history. the Great day in osuna is Good (or Holy) Friday.

one of the most important buildings is the old university of osuna, a 16th century rectangular building.

osuna has a wide and varied gastronomic offer. We speak about the “repapalillas”, made from eggs, milk, flour, spring onion, garlic and parsley, or the “ardoria”, similar to “salmorejo” vegetable cream. the thistle stew, beans and peas stew… and about sweets, tasty “gañotes”, “crestillas”, “arroz con leche” creamed rice, lemon pie, almond cake or traditional “gachas” porridge.

canopy of the floats through the small doors of the temples by means of wheels placed under the floats. Handmade embroidery of the canopy of nuestra señora de los Dolores, of the la Humildad brotherhood, are very characteristic, as well as the beautiful embroidery of the masterly cloak of the exit from the temple of María santísima del Mayor of Vera - Cruz brotherhood, made by the Madres Mercedarias (nuns) in 19th century.

something interesting: there is a team of bearer women (“costaleras”) who carries our lord image of the santo entierro procession.

the Great Week of Fuentes de andalucía is a part of the unique baroque architecture by the ruiz Florindo, highlighting the temples of santa María la Blanca and san José, the convents of la encarnación or san Francisco as well as De la aurora and el Calvario chapels, these temples are interspersed in a network of paved streets, 18th century sumptuous façades and slender viewpoints.

Fuentes de andalucía has a cuisine of a great value with typical specialties such as fried or tomato sauce cod, asparagus or cod omelette, spinach with chickpeas stew, “pisto” ratatouille, “gachas” porridge, “flowers”, “torrijas” kind of special French toast, or “arroz con leche” creamed rice. also highlights the very typical “entornao” sweet made from sugar, flour, cinnamon, sesame, water and ground pepper used as a colouring to distinguish from other sweets.

FUENTES DE ANDALUCÍA

the Holy Week of this town has its origins in 16th century when the Hermandad (brotherhood) la santa Vera - Cruz was founded among many other manifestations of public religiosity, as a result of the Catholic reformation initiated by the roman Catholic Church to counteract the schisms occurring in northern europe. this corporation offers the chance to visit a museographic collection with the best valuables of the brotherhood. after this many others were founded, until the 21st century when the Cristo de la Paz brotherhood was founded, better known as “ la Borriquita “.

today, six brotherhoods form processions of penance during the Holy Week of this town. It is worth looking at the exit and the entrance of the floats, when the bearers of different brotherhoods are striving to bring out the

CORIA DEL RÍO

Holy Week in Coria del río was declared of national tourism Interest in andalusia in June 2001 because of the most striking moments during the course of the Hermandad de la Vera-Cruz, when the titulars have to go up and down a 100 metre long slope once. at the end of the slope they are greeted with saetas (popular sacred songs) and applause as the sound is portraying the solemn moment.

In the morning of easter sunday occurs the “abrazos” (hugs) an extra evangelical scene full of emotion for the faithfull devouts. the Paso -float- of Virgen de la soledad, now without Pallium - canopy and with a beautiful colour cloack, goes to the Church to meet her son Jesus, resurrected. the popular ceremony comes to such an extent that the Pasos seem to be in touch, touching each other, simulating a “hug” to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

among the most important monuments of Coria del río: the Parish - Church of nuestra señora de la estrella, the Chapel of san Juan Bautista, the House-Museum of Blas Infante and the Museum of andalusian autonomy.

By lent one can enjoy in every house the popular “orejitas de Haba”, deformed expression of “orejitas de abad” (abbot’s little ears, literally), in honor to san antonio abad.

ALCALÁ DEL RÍO

the scent of incense, the perfume that emanates from the orange trees blossom and the aroma of typical pastries of these days, mix well to anounce, once again, the Great Week of alcalá del río considered since March 2003 of national tourism Interest in andalusia.

after five centuries of history, many traditions are still alive. For example, the Hermandad -Brotherhood- del nazareno still reads the sentence when the Procession leaves the temple.

Good (Holy) Friday night takes place the ceremony of the Descendimiento (the “descent” from the Cross ), two Brothers dressed as santos Varones (holy men) pull out the nails and descend the Christ from the Cross and present him to the Virgen de la soledad.

among the most important monuments of alcalá del río is santa María de la asunción Parish-Church. Its interior highlights superb altarpieces of the 16th century and there is also a mudéjar style tower which can be seen from many parts of the town. and san Gregorio de osset Hermitage (ermita) of a great artistic value.

salted dishes such as Codfish in tomato sauce or the fried “Pavía”(hake) are crowned with most delicious sweets: traditional torrijas (special French toast), Pestiños, rosquitos, or the very popular Gañotes.

In Guadalcanal is advisable to wander through its charming streets and be guided by the neighbors, to find, for example, san Vicente Church, santa María de la asunción Church or santa ana Church, the tallest building in the village, from which you can see some splendid views.

on the outskirts of the municipality is the ermita (chapel) de Guaditoca, pa-tron of the village. From this Chapel leaves the procession of the Herman-dad (brotherhood) del resucitado.among the most typical sweets at this time of the year, should be mentioned the “gañote”, “bollitos de aceite” buns with pure olive oil, “torta de chicharro-nes” pork craklings cake, and deli-cious “hojaldres” puff pastry.

GUADALCANAL

From the days leading up to Holy Week, the residents of this village cele-brate this Custom, and have done since the 16th century. It was declared of national tourism Interest in January 31, 2001.

Most of the brotherhoods have their canonical see at santa María de la asunción Parish - Church and from there flow through the main streets of the village.

the Great Days are celebrated from Holy thursday, the day in which the Passion, Death and resurrection of the lord is evoked. During these days we can enjoy superb carvings by important sculptors such as antonio Castillo lastrucci, the artist of, among others, the images of la Vera-Cruz brotherhood, or antonio Illanes, whose gouge performed the carving sculp-ture of Virgen de la amargura. at the end of the week, we can see the float of santo sepulcro of santo entierro brotherhood, of an incomparable beauty, as well as the float of Virgen de la soledad.

SIERRA SUR

this region is located southeast of the province of seville. It consists of 19 municipalities where the remains of cultures from prehistory to present times are still visible, passing through roman and Iberian times, among others. the arrangement of the mountains, forming large plains as well as wild sierras allowed the shelter of “bandoleros” popular bandits, between 18th and 19th centuries. In this region, we can find the highest points of the province.

the contrast of its landscape, the climate, in addition to the culture and the history, produce the perfect mix for many people visit these lands, interested in such a heterogeneous past. this is a territory rich in popular celebrations, but the most enjoyable each year is the Holy Week. nearly 60 brotherhoods form processions of Penance during these seven days, lived with a great intensity in this region.

MORÓN DE LA FRONTERA

Holy Week of this village was declared Feast of national tourism Interest of andalusia from July 2002. the origin of its processions is over 500 years. all the brotherhoods form processions of penance towards the Church Mayor de san Miguel arcángel, one of the most important temples. on Good (Holy) Friday the brotherhood of santo entierro stands out as it is oldest of the municipality.

Holy saturday, the brotherhood of la soledad closes the processions as a perfect finishing touch to this Holy Week.

Is a must to visit the museum paying tribute to one of the hallmarks of this village: lime. Considered by unesCo as Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Humanity. other cultural attractions are the Church of san Miguel arcángel, the Church of the Convent of santa Clara, the Church of nuestra señora de la Victoria y el espíritu santo and the Chapel of nuestro Padre Jesús de la Cañada, among others.

In addition to the authentic “aceitunas morunas” olives in a homemade seasoning, should be mentioned dishes as the “arroz en amarillo con conejo” rice with rabbit, “huevos de codorniz al ajillo” quail eggs in a garlic dressing and the “esparragaos en sopa” vegetable soup.

LA RODA DE ANDALUCÍA

2004 was one of the most important years for the residents of this town, since that year the value of its Holy Week was recognized and catalogued in February as an event of national tourism Interest in andalusia. Formerly, the “Pasos” floats were on wheels, but over the years the traditional sevillian manner was adopted. Processions begin on Holy Wednesday with the brotherhood of Jesus nazareno, on this occasion the image makes its exit hands tied and accompanied by a great silence only broken by the many “saetas” sung by the faithful devotees.

Maundy thursday comes out the Cristo del Perdón, corporation founded in the fifties by the former railroad workers. the image of the lord, titular of this Cofradía-brotherhood, was the first in the province to be carried by “costaleras” women bearing the floats.

among the most important monuments, emphasis must be put on the Chapel of the Convent of siervas del evangelio nuns and the baroque Church of santa ana.

one of the most typical sweets is the “hochío”, cake that can be made sweet or salty and filled to taste, together with other specialties as “pestiños”, “gachas” porridge, and “magdalenas” cupcakes.

the name of this region comes from the ancient roman road (“road of the silver”) crossing the Iberian Peninsula south to north of spain, from sevilla to Gijón. only five of the eight municipalities of this region have brotherhoods of penance forming processions during the Holy Week. White villages, whitewashed houses, beautiful landscapes and a very particular orography make the passage of the brotherhoods be different, for the images repeated every year are unforgettable for all those enjoying this Holy Week.

Here, roman and Middle-aged Muslim remains can still be seen as a part of the rich cultural past of these lands. this heritage combines perfectly with stunning landscapes with a rich flora and fauna, which is sometimes surprising because of its proximity to the capital.

In the region of the Vía de la Plata the “ruta del agua” Water route takes place, which begins in the region of el aljarafe and ends at the town of el ronquillo, where we can enjoy enclaves of a high ecological value.

dId you know… The leaving of the floats from the Church of San Juan Bautista in Castillo de las Guardas, is quite complicated because of the low height of the door.

dId you know… On Resurrection (Easter) Sunday, it is traditional in Guillena that the residents of this town wear new clothes and celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ together with the brotherhood of Virgen de la Candelaria and El Niño Perdido. That day, all houses are open to visitors.

the religious tradition goes with diverse activities of tourism, leisure and gastronomy.

among the most conspicuous buildings should be noted the Municipal theater “Miguel Fisac” of a modern and avant-garde design that never fails to impress the visitors, nor should we miss the Chapel of san Benito abad, patron saint of this town, the Church of Divino salvador or the Chapel of nuestra señora de escardiel.

the gastronomy is based on traditional dishes with seasonal products. Do not miss the “salmorejo” thick vegetable cream, the “venteras”, “migas”, “pestorejo”, “sopeao”, “ayuyas” or the typical “tapas” at the bars, a good chance to try a part of the gastronomy by small portions. In confectionery, one should taste the “pestiños”, “piñonates”, “tortas sobás”, “tortas de manteca” butter cakes or the “rosas” roses, whose recipes have been preserved from generation to generation.

CASTILBLANCO DE LOS ARROYOS

one of the most important and representative events of this municipality is Holy Week. locals live intensely this festivity which brings together more visitors every year, attracted by the religious atmosphere along the decorated streets of Castilblanco. since 2011, the celebration has been advanced to Palm sunday, day in which, after several years, the procession of la Borriquita takes place. From eleven o’clock in the morning, more than 150 children holding curled palm plants accompany the image of the Cristo del amor en su entrada triunfal en Jerusalén. the festive week ends with the procession of the Virgen de la soledad in deep mourning, accompanied by devout women wearing the classic spanish “mantilla” shawl in black as a sign of mourning and respect.

PASSION FOR HISTORY

Going back to the most immediate history of the Brotherhoods of the province of seville, we can say that the beginning of the 20th century was prolific in terms of Cofradías-Brotherhoods. Many were founded and in many municipalities numerous images were acquired and soon became a part of the patrimonial legacy of these municipalities. In the thirties the outlook changed when the second republic is proclaimed and Civil War broke out in 1936.

Catholic Church in general underwent a high number of attacks endangering its heritage. Both the Brothers and the faithful devotees played an important role in safeguarding, even threatening their very existence as they hid the religious carvings in their homes. all the Cofradías-Brotherhoods suspended their worship for any event had to be approved and supervised by the Civil Government.

religious images were burnt, temples were destroyed with all their belongings inside… almost 40% of the towns of the province of seville lost their assets which, consequently, led to a difficult task to recover them. at the end of Civil War and since the forties, there were perspective changes with the beginning of the creation and the rising of new Brotherhoods, and since the fifties there has been a resurgence and a strengthening of the wealth of the Cofradías-Brotherhoods that we know today.
