Holy Week
Devotion, gastronomy, nature, and hydrotherapy
In O Carballiño, the Holy Week is truly felt. It is experienced in every step, in every silence, in every musical note accompanying the processions.
Dating back to the 19th century, this deeply rooted celebration stands out for its authenticity and unique character. The aesthetic and emotional strength of the processions, together with the distinctive way in which the floats are carried, make each liturgical act a unique experience.
The Temple of Vera Cruz, designed by Antonio Palacios and an architectural symbol of the town, is the heart of this tradition. All around it, the music –with the “Hymns to the Virgin and Christ”– and the participation of renowned bands surround every moment, directly tying the building to the collective memory and emotion.
O Carballiño is so much more. It is the unmistakable flavour of “pulpo á feira”, an emblem of its cuisine. It is living nature, nestled among mountains, forests, and the River Arenteiro, which invites you to wander, take a breath of fresh air, and connect. And it is also a synonym for well-being, thanks to its thermal waters and spas, where body and mind find rest.
Holy Week in O Carballiño: come, feel it, and experience it.
