Culture vulture from London with a passion for all things foodie, I’ve spent over six years living in Spain, exploring the country’s diverse regions and cities. I studied literature at university in the eclectic city of Brighton, and since then, I’ve been hooked on keeping up with what to do, see, and, of course, eat. I’m a firm believer in appreciating and learning from local cultures, travelling responsibly, and giving new things a go with an open mind and a healthy dose of curiosity. I try to share useful tips, local insights and a bit of honest know-how, so you can make the most of wherever you find yourself.
Holy Week in Seville is one of the most powerful cultural events in Spain. Semana Santa here isn’t just a religious celebration; it’s part theatre, part neighbourhood ritual, part endurance test.
This time of year is one of the most comfortable for travelling, which explains why so many people are looking for the best places to visit in Spain this April.
Easter in Madrid 2026 boasts more than 30 official processions moving through the capital. The city’s Semana Santa is noticeably more restrained than in Seville or Málaga.
Every March, Valencia shifts into a different rhythm as Las Fallas takes over the streets with towering sculptures and thunderous fireworks for nearly three weeks.
Holy Week is one of the most important periods in Spain’s calendar, drawing thousands to its religious processions, public holidays and family gatherings.
