We are now only 5 days away from the Holy Week of Cordoba, which will run from April 14 to Sunday 21. This tradition dates back to the sixteenth century, perfectly representing the spirit of the famous counter-reformation and the intention of bringing religiosity closer to common of the common people through these street demonstrations. For a week, the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will be commemorated through the procession of sculptural groups through the streets of Córdoba. In total we talk about 37 brotherhoods that will fill the streets of the Andalusian city.
