Changes for Holy Tuesday 2026
In preparation for Holy Tuesday in Seville, the general start time of the Official Procession remains advanced to prevent accumulated delays among the last brotherhoods.
Meanwhile, El Cerro has finalized its route with a return via Cuesta del Rosario and Alfalfa, offering unprecedented sights compared to its former route along Paseo Colón.
Meanwhile, San Esteban is extending its return route through the Águilas and Cuesta del Rosario areas, seeking a more secluded setting before its arrival.
Iconic moments you won’t want to miss
Among the most memorable scenes of Holy Wednesday in Seville, one must mention the solemnity of the Cristo de la Buena Muerte silhouetted against the arch of the Postigo; the postcard-perfect view of the Cerro and its Nazarenes crossing the San Bernardo Bridge; or the “impossible” departure of San Esteban as it passes through its pointed archway.
Sevillians are never failed to be amazed by the entry of the Dulce Nombre brotherhood into the Plaza de San Lorenzo or, of course, La Candelaria on its return through the Jardines de Murillo. A scene lit by candlelight that is, possibly, one of the most beautiful moments of Seville’s Holy Week. It takes place around 11:30 p.m.
