ARCHIVED - No decision will be taken about Semana Santa 2021 in Cartagena until 15 days before
At the moment there is so much uncertainty about whether the parades will go ahead in the spring
The Junta de Cofradías who run the Semana Santa Easter celebrations and processions in Cartagena have decided that a decision won´t be taken until 15 days before Viernes de Dolores next year about whether the normal programme of parades will go ahead or not.
This year the processions were cancelled virtually everywhere at the last minute as the Covid-19 pandemic hit Spain hard, and even though Christmas hasn´t even begun in earnest yet, the huge amount of organisation required necessitates decisions being made months in advance.
At this moment in time there is no way of knowing whether the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be over, and although there are high hopes that a programme of vaccinations will be well underway by the time Easter approaches, it’s not advisable to make too many plans at the moment.
Carnival has already been cancelled all over Spain due to the difficulty in rehearsing and preparing for such an inclusive event so early in the new year, and although the events relating to Semana Santa are less risky for participants, they always draw large crowds and therefore imply a significant covid risk.
Putting off the decision until so close to the event does make it difficult for tourists and those working in the hotel sector to plan, to say nothing of the huge amount of organisation, planning and preparations which must be done within the Cofradías to organise the events, but until nearer the date, it is being viewed as impossible to make a decision just yet, a problem also faced by all of those organising the major parades in cities across Spain.
