Holy Week in Sevilla sounds wonderful, thanks! I once spent this week in Guatemala, and the traditions there were so fascinating. The processions, the colorful carpets made of sawdust, and the overall atmosphere were unforgettable. I’m curious about how Semana Santa is celebrated in other Latin American countries. Has anyone experienced it in places like Mexico or Colombia? What unique traditions or events stood out to you? Let’s share our stories!
 
Semana Santa in Latin America is truly a unique experience, and each country adds its own cultural twist. In Mexico, for example, Ixtapalapa's reenactment of the Passion of Christ is incredibly moving, with thousands of participants and spectators. Colombia, particularly in Popayán, is famous for its solemn and beautifully orchestrated processions that have been declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Have you thought about exploring these or other countries for a different perspective on Holy Week?
