2021 will continue to be a year of uncertainty in the celebration of the main Alicante festivals.
One of the first per calendar is the Easter week, scheduled this year from March 28 to April 4. From the Greater Board of Brotherhoods and Brotherhoods of Holy Week in Alicante they assure that still “it is very risky to venture what is going to happen in three months”.
Its president, Alfredo Llopis, explains that in the second half of January they will decide in a definitive way how the celebration of Holy Week in 2021 will be. In any case, he assures, what there will be will be one “Alternative Easter“.
“The holy days, are what they are” admits Llopis who emphasizes that “they are working” so that each brotherhood has its proclamation, the exaltation or other acts in its headquarters according to the possibilities and the spaces of each one of them. “We will go as far as the health situation allows us.”

– Regarding the processions in the street, Llopis comments that although a definitive decision has not been made, “things are difficult.” He assures that within each brotherhood a certain control could be maintained, what would be more complicated is to control the public that attends and fills the streets. On SevillaFor example, the decision has been made not to celebrate Holy Week in the streets. “We also hope that the Bishopric of Orihuela-Alicante pronounce on the matter and if not, the Board of Directors will make a decision that will be the most sensible“.

Regarding the agreement for Easter to have a street in Alicante, Llopis has declared that “it is a reason for satisfaction“which somehow recognizes the work, most of the time quiet, of so many families who have worked over the years so that Holy Week is recognized at the national level as it is.” –
