Semana Santa de Valencia [Spanish]

By BALTASAR BUENO TARREGA

Holy Week in Valencia is much more than a religious celebration: it is a cultural legacy that intertwines centuries of history, art and tradition in the vibrant setting of its seaside neighborhoods. In this book, Baltasar Bueno Tárrega unfolds an exciting story that transports us from the Mozarabic and medieval origins of these festivities to their contemporary splendor. With an expert and at the same time intimate gaze, the author explores the mysteries of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ through unique processions, full of color, emotion and symbolism. The streets of Cabanyal, Canyamelar and Grau are transformed into an authentic baroque theater, where faith is expressed with fervor and creativity, sustained by the people of the sea, heirs to an unshakeable devotion. This work, deeply researched and at the same time evocative, invites us to rediscover its secrets and singularities, a cultural manifestation that combines the sacred and the festive with the force and light of the Mediterranean.
