It was not a ranking but a list of the best Spanish cities where Holy Week is experienced. An article prepared and published by the prestigious National Geographic magazine in which some places in the country were recommended to enjoy this tradition has been the subject of some controversy after placing Seville in second place, behind Ferrol, in Galicia.
The listing did not go unnoticed, either by the local media or by social media users, who soon commented on the news with surprise given the importance of Seville’s Semana Grande. The president of the Council of Brotherhoods of the city of Seville, Paco Vélez, was also asked about this matter at a press conference, who settled the issue with a simple: “We are not going to invite National Geographic, what does National Geographic know about the Week Saint of Seville?
Ferrol, Seville, Zamora, Tarragona, Granada, Balmaseda (Basque Country), Málaga, San Cristóbal de la Laguna (Tenerife), Valladolid, Calanda (Teruel) and Cuenca are part of this list in which the beauty of the steps stands out. and the fervor that is experienced in the streets of each place, along with recommendations that the magazine makes highlighting the issues it considers most relevant.
The important thing, Vélez said, is that the weather is good these days and that you can enjoy the processions, regardless of the city in which you live or where you decide to go tourism.
