End of Madrid Semana Santa

The celebration of the Passion of Christ is one of the most important traditions in Spain, and Madrid is no exception. Although, as ever, the Spaniards tend to use these traditional occasions more to go out and have fun than to actually rejoice in the religious origins of the events.

This is wonderful time for a weekend break or Easter holiday in Spain, the temperatures being moderate to warm, and with the interesting activities described below to occupy your time.
