Semana Santa
The most important fiesta in Iznate
(and probably the rest of Spain) is Semana Santa - the Holy Week before Eastern.
The week starts processions on Monday, Thursday and
Good Friday.
On Easter Sunday a
mass is celebrated
at noon followed by
a colourful procession
towards the Santo Christo chapel.
Once there,
villagers act in an impressive
play
representing Saint Peter and the
other
apostles finding the risen Christ.
The play ends with a salute of
guns and fireworks.
Now the real fiesta begins with the long awaited free paella, the free vino de moscatel and folklore dancing.
