PASSION FOR THE PROVINCE
ifferent, 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.
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: Alcal de
Guadara, Alcal del Ro, Carmona, Castilleja de la Cuesta, Coria del Ro, cija, Estepa,
Guadalcanal, La Roda de Andaluca, Las Cabezas de San Juan, Marchena, Morn 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.
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.
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 forever
etched 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.
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.
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.
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 SOUND OF THE HOLY WEEK: BANDS AND SAETAS
The music of the Holy Week is provided by the Sodalities Cofradas, 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.

CASTILLEJA DE LA CUESTA
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
Apstol Santiago of the square and pale blue for the brotherhood of La
Inmaculada Concepcin of calle Real. That day has been catalogued a
National Tourism Interest of Andalusia in January 20, 1999.
This municipality of the Sevillian Aljarafe lives the Holy Week in the days
before for this town is responsible for opening the Great Week with the
procession of the Veracruz brotherhood, with Nuestro Seor Jesucristo en
la Cruz and Mara Santsima de las Nieves as titulars. It is a very solemn
procession which brings together many of the faithful devotees who dont
want to miss the unrepeatable and beautiful images through the streets.
When visiting this village during these days you cant miss out the 18th
century Parish Church of Santa Mara de las Nieves, of an important artistic
value inside. And the Hermitage of San Miguel, where is the Inmaculada
Concepcin is another among the most characteristics sites of this town.
For its wine-growing and producing roots and its fertile lands, Villanueva
del Ariscal has always stood in gastronomy respecting the basis of
traditional cookery adapted to seasonal products. At this time of the year, in
addition to the popular home-made stews and the most popular tost con
huevos, one can enjoy typical sweets like the orange cakes, pionates,
pestios, torrijas or the special flakes hojuelas.

ALCAL DE GUADARA
CARMONA
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
Jess Nazareno, Mara Santsima 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
judos 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 Alcal de
Guadara 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 Dragn),
the only figurative bridge in the world.
The Dolmens of Gandul, the Fortified
Medieval Enclosure or the Mills on
the banks of Guadara river, as well
as Santiago el Mayor Parish-Church,
San Sebastin 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 Alcal (cake) or the bizcotelas
filled biscuits, among others, without
underestimating the well known
bread (pan) of Alcal de Guadara,
rated as one of the best in Spain.

cija 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 the
brotherhoods make their entrance into Mayor de Santa Cruz ParishChurch, locals do not think Holy Week is over, but that there is one day less
until the next Palm Sunday.

Holy Week is one of the most important events of every year, and has been
declared 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 cortge during all the week.
The streets of this village are fully decorated during its Great Week. Ten
cofradas-brotherhoods form procession to do processions of penance
inside one of the most important celebrations of La Campia 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.
From Palm Sunday, with the Borriquita, the Hermandad de los Nios
(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 Alczar
(15th century), Churches as Santa
Mara de la Asuncin, Nuestra
Seora de los Remedios, San
Sebastin, Del Carmen or Santa
Clara Convent and the Castillo de
la Mota - Palacio Ducal, CastlePalace and the Casa Palacio
Marqus 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, pestios, sopaipas
and hochos.

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
LA CAMPIA
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 .
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 Seora 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 Mara Santsima 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 Andaluca is a part of the unique baroque
architecture by the Ruiz Florindo, highlighting the temples of Santa
Mara la Blanca and San Jos, the convents of La Encarnacin 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
faades and slender viewpoints.
Fuentes de Andaluca 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.

From the days leading up to Holy Week, the residents of this village celebrate 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 Mara de la
Asuncin 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 sculpture 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.

LA RODA DE ANDALUCA
MORN DE LA FRONTERA
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.
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 Arcngel, one of the most important temples. On
Good (Holy) Friday the brotherhood of Santo Entierro stands out as it is
oldest of the municipality.
Maundy Thursday comes out the Cristo del Perdn, corporation founded
in the fifties by the former railroad workers. The image of the Lord, titular
of this Cofrada-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 hocho, cake that can be made
sweet or salty and filled to taste, together with other specialties as
pestios, gachas porridge, and magdalenas cupcakes.

TOWNS OF THE
MUNICIPALITY
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 Va 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.

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 Gijn. 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.

VA DE LA PLATA
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 Seora 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 pestios, pionates, tortas sobs, tortas de
manteca butter cakes or the rosas roses, whose recipes have been
preserved from generation to generation.
