Bridge day check

Falls on a Friday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

The high point of Semana Santa, with brotherhood processions that run through the night in Seville, Málaga and Valladolid. Streets in old towns are impassable for hours.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks and most shops close; bars along procession routes do their best trade of the year.

Getting around

Extensive city-centre closures and altered bus routes across procession days, not just Friday.
