Easter on the Costa del Sol
GThis Easter weekend, Málaga pulls out everything it has.
🌊 Good Friday is the emotional peak of Semana Santa — declared of International Tourist Interest — with eight brotherhoods processing through the historic centre from late afternoon until 03:30 in the morning.
🎉 Holy Saturday brings a complete change of mood: Brunch Electronik opens its spring season at the Auditorio Cortijo de Torres, and across town Joseph Capriati goes back-to-back with Dennis Cruz in Torremolinos.
🌸 Whether you're here for candlelit processions or outdoor dance floors, this is one of those weekends where the Costa del Sol reminds you why you live here. Here are the three events I'd put first on the list.
✝️ FRIDAY 3 APRIL · GOOD FRIDAY · PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Semana Santa Processions — Málaga City
