Activity · Daimiel, La Mancha, Ciudad Real

Daimiel's Holy Week processions, declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional (festival of regional tourist interest) in 2002, begin on Palm Sunday with the borriquilla, in which children from several brotherhoods accompany the image of Jesus entering Jerusalem, and end on Holy Saturday with the procession of María Desolada. On Tuesday the Archicofradía de la Pasión (Archconfraternity of the Passion) processes with a Way of the Cross; on Wednesday, the Archicofradía del Cristo de Consuelo; on Holy Thursday, Los Coloraos, the brotherhood of the Santísimo Cristo de la Columna, considered the oldest; and on Good Friday, among others, that of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno (Our Father Jesus the Nazarene) processes, one of the largest in Spain. Several brotherhoods hold carvings by the Sevillian sculptor Antonio Castillo Lastrucci.
