The public heritage department publishes infographics with the routes of Holy Week 2026 to follow processions and Stations of the Cross “street by street.”

Joining a procession in Herencia often becomes an impromptu family outing: “Where is it coming from?” “What time does it pass through the square?” “Will we make it to the official race on time?” With this in mind, Holy Week 2026 introduces a practical tool for residents and visitors: infographics detailing the routes of processions and the Stations of the Cross, designed for mobile access to clearly outline the path “street by street.”

This initiative visually compiles the maps for various events throughout the week, from the Stations of the Cross of Redemption to the festive atmosphere of Palm Sunday and the central days of the Passion. The goal is straightforward: facilitate planning, avoid last-minute confusion, and help newcomers navigate a town that shifts to a different rhythm during this time.

Maps and Key Points to Catch the Main Moments

Besides the routes, the infographics also highlight landmarks commonly found in the paths: Plaza de España, Parish of the Immaculate Conception, the Convent, and streets recurring in many itineraries like Lope de Vega or Colón. For the Stations of the Cross, the “round-trip” format is easy to understand at a glance, aiding viewers in choosing where to stand based on their available time.

Some examples included in this visual series are:

• Stations of the Cross of the Community (Holy Wednesday, April 1) at 11:00 PM, with a route through Plaza de España, Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Lope de Vega, Colón, and returning through the plaza and the parish.
• Procession of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday, March 29), with a blessing of palms and branches at 10:30 AM at the Ermita de San Bartolomé, departing at 10:45 AM and arriving at the parish at 11:45 AM.
• Procession of the Virgin of Sorrows (Friday, March 27), with a route including the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Plaza de España, Lope de Vega, Pintor Agustín Úbeda, Labradora, Cristo de Urda, Vereda, Colón, and back to the plaza.

Additionally, the material features a joint cover titled “Holy Week 2026: Processions and Stations of the Cross”, unifying the collection as a single resource.

A Practical Aid for Residents, Families, and Visitors

Beyond the graphical detail, the utility is evident: those wishing to see a procession at a specific point can better choose their spot, while those with limited time can determine if they will make it to the plaza, convent, or parish. For families with children or elderly individuals, it also allows the selection of less crowded areas or more accessible sections.

In a Holy Week featuring vastly different events—from the solemnity of a nighttime Stations of the Cross to busier processions—having this information visually available allows everyone to engage in their own way, without going “blind” or relying on constant requests for directions.

How to Use the Infographics

The practical recommendation is simple: download the images to your mobile and consult them before heading out. This way, you can identify:

• the closest passing point,
• the street the procession is advancing along,
• and the return route when applicable.

A quick glance can prevent missing key moments and enhance the experience along the route by better distributing the audience across different segments.
