TITLE: Holy Week 2026 in Logroño

Holy Week in Logroño is a celebration characterized by its sobriety, respect, and deep roots in the Riojan identity. Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, it transforms the historic center into a stage where silence is only broken by the sound of drums and bugles. During these days, the city’s twelve brotherhoods bring historic and artistic floats (known as 'pasos') to the streets, parading through iconic locations. The heart of the festivities lies in the processions, such as the 'Encuentro' or the Great Procession of the Holy Burial on Good Friday, which is the most attended and solemn event.
