Following my recent blog about the Easter processions in Spain, here’s the timetable for the processions for this year’s celebrations in Manilva and Sabinillas. Locally, Semana Santa week is probably one of the most important weeks in the year with all the attention turning to the four brotherhoods.. Nuestra Señora de los Dolores and Nuestro Padre Jesús de Nazareno in Manilva and El Cristo del Amor and Nuestra Señora de los Dolores in Sabinillas
Unfortunately, the beautiful church in Manilva is currently undergoing, much needed, restoration work so the services will be held, and the processions will leave from the sports centre. I’m not sure it will be the same but this is possibly the only other building in Manilva that will hold the amount of people who are likely to attend..
