Holy Week and Easter are the main festivities
in the Catholic calendar.
The solemnity and severity of the first week
is followed by the joyful, noisy explosion
of the second one, with its days in the country,
picnics and meetings.
The highlights are Vila-real and Vinaròs
processions due to their solemnity and tradition,
together with the popular representations
of the Passion in Borriol, Chilches or Torreblanca.

The days following
the Resurrection are known for the pilgrimages
to various chapels, such as the Pelegrins
de les Useres, Vallivana’s Rogativa
or the pilgrimage to Sant Pere Castellfort
chapel held in Catí. Let’s not
forget though the typical distribution of
calderes in Almassora. The Pelegrins de les
Useres pilgrimage is a tradition of a town
that has managed to keep unchanged its medieval
liturgy and rituals and is one of the oldest
in the Mediterranean basin, attracting thousands
of people. It always starts on the last Sunday
in April, covering in two days the roundtrip
journey towards Sant Joan de Penyagolosa (70
km approximately).
The Corpus Christi celebrations at Morella
are a reference, a unique show. Along its
medieval streets giant and enormous headed
figures and a series of Bible characters
are paraded, along with ancient typical
dances.
