Holy Week in Iznatoraf is notable for combining both Castilian and Andalusian traditions; watching beautiful carvings pass through narrow streets, centuries-old arches, walls and towers is a pleasure for the senses.

Palm Sunday: The blessing of branches and palm fronds takes place, followed by a procession from the Hermitage of the Veracruz to the Parish Church of the Asunción.

Holy Wednesday: The traditional Way of the Cross takes place; the 14 stations are prayed by torchlight through Iznatoraf's narrow alleyways.

Holy Thursday: In the afternoon, one of the traditions most deeply rooted among the people of Iznatoraf takes place: the Abanderado (flag-bearer), a person dressed entirely in black, with tunic and headscarf, accompanies the Cristo de la Veracruz from the Parish Church to his hermitage; from there, once he arrives, the procession of Jesús de los Azotes and Nuestra Señora de los Dolores sets out, accompanied by Roman soldiers.

Good Friday: The morning of this day begins with the Procession of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, popularly known as El Paso; during this procession of the Brotherhood of the Moraos, the titular image is accompanied by that of San Juan Evangelista, La Verónica and Nuestra Señora de la Soledad. During this procession, the meeting between the Virgin and her Son takes place, an encounter blocked by the Roman soldiers until a child dressed as an Angel recites a well-known prayer, allowing the Virgin through to meet her Son. Throughout the procession, La Pasión is sung, popular hymns of Mozarabic origin narrating episodes of the Lord's Passion. At midday, it is the turn of the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament, also known as the Blancos, who carry the imposing image of the Santísimo Cristo de la Expiración through the town's narrowest streets.

Good Friday: As evening falls, the Santo Sepulcro processes; Christ, within his bronze urn, parades solemnly through Iznatoraf's main streets. As it passes through the square, the meeting between the Virgin and San Juan with the Dead Christ takes place. It is at midnight that Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, in strict silence, processes through iconic streets such as Calle Cruz or Rincón, beneath the light of the moon.

Glory Saturday: This is the night Christ rises again, and in Iznatoraf this is re-enacted at the parish church: as the priest intones Gloria in Excelsis Deo, the Roman soldiers present in the church, guarding the altar, flee in terror as the Risen Christ appears, accompanied by the angel who brought about the meeting of Christ and the Virgin. It is the following day when the Risen Christ processes, this time accompanied by brotherhood members bearing the emblems of each brotherhood, but without tunics.

One of the most important milestones of Fuensanta's culture and tradition is its Holy Week, in which the Live Re-enactment of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ forms the central element, held on Holy Thursday.

Considered one of the treasures of traditional culture in the province of Jaén, it is held on Holy Thursday at a natural site known as the Calvario, at the foot of which stands one of the town's most important monuments, the Fuente de la Negra. This site becomes wrapped in an awe-inspiring atmosphere, where the words recounting, year after year, what many consider the greatest story ever told resonate in a particularly powerful way. The origins of these Passion re-enactments are lost in the collective memory of the people of Fuensanta, although it was not until 1975 that they were rescued from oblivion and revived with notable success. Today's re-enactment portrays the final hours of Jesus Christ's life, beginning with the Last Supper and ending with the Crucifixion between the thieves Gestas and Dimas, and his death — these final moments being the most dramatically powerful of the whole performance, where the setting, music and lighting help heighten the emotion of this crucial moment.

Among the liturgical traditions of the province of Jaén, Alcaudete stands out for still performing the so-called "Pasos Vivientes" (Living Stations), held entirely on Good Friday.

These Pasos are re-enactments performed by the Brotherhood of the Apostles (one of the oldest, possibly dating back to the early 19th century), depicting scenes from the Passion and Death of Jesus: El Prendimiento (The Arrest), Dimas and Gestas, La Venta de Jesús (The Betrayal of Jesus), El Paso de la Verónica, and the most unique and representative of our Holy Week, El Paso de Abraham. Although unrelated to the New Testament, this is the most acclaimed and popular re-enactment of the whole of Holy Week, performed in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in front of illustrious images and liturgical Pasos such as Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, the Virgen de los Dolores, and San Elías (a prophet, another Paso characteristic of Alcaudete for not belonging to the typical liturgical Pasos, but one of the most venerated images in the whole town, as well as one of the most artistically important, being the work of Pedro de Mena).

The town holds more than thirty Pasos throughout Holy Week, beginning with "LA SENTENCIA", performed on the Saturday before Palm Sunday (known in Alcaudete as "el sábado de sentencia"), in which the Roman squadrons of the Brotherhood of Jesús Nazareno de Alcaudete re-enact the sentencing of Jesus before Pontius Pilate.

A religious festival whose tradition dates back to the 16th century. The solemnity of its processional floats, together with the fervour of its brotherhoods, gives it remarkable splendour. This is reflected in the Opening Address announcing the celebration, delivered over the years by various notable figures, lending it great significance. Another distinctive feature is the celebrated Cantes de Pasión, particularly in the early hours of Good Friday. These are like laments lost in the depths of the night; unceasing echoes interrupted only by the sound of horns. It begins on Palm Sunday with the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, “La Borriquilla”, followed on Holy Monday by “El Cautivo” and María Santísima de la Esperanza. On Holy Tuesday, the Stations of the Cross of Penance and Silence are held with the Cristo del Perdón. On Holy Wednesday, the image of the Prayer in the Garden processes through the streets. On the evening of Holy Thursday, Jesús de la Columna processes, together with San Juan Evangelista and María Santísima de la Amargura. Well into the early hours, one of the most fervent processions of the whole Holy Week is held.

Popularly known as “El Paso”, this features Jesús Nazareno, accompanied by La Verónica, and, as a new addition, María Santísima del Mayor Dolor y Traspaso. It is a moving sight at dawn, along the steep, ancient streets, accompanied by numerous barefoot penitents following its route beneath the impressive singing of passionist hymns and saetas, brimming with a feeling that calls us to reflection. On Good Friday, at dawn, Jesús de la Caída, or “El Caído”, processes, together with Nuestra Señora de la Merced and the Santísima Trinidad, processing for the first time. Later in the morning, the Cristo de la Expiración sets out, accompanied by María Santísima del Amor.

As night falls, with great solemnity, the Santo Sepulcro and the Virgen de los Dolores process through the streets of Villacarrillo, together with their respective brotherhoods. Holy Week ends on Easter Sunday with Jesús Resucitado, bringing to a close a week filled with feeling, devotion and tradition. Most processions set out from the Church of the Asunción, with the exception of the Prayer in the Garden and El Caído, which set out from Santa Isabel, and El Cautivo and El Resucitado, which set out from the Church of San Francisco. In the hamlet of Mogón, the processions of the Nazareno with the Virgen de los Dolores, the Santo Entierro and Jesús Resucitado are particularly notable. All the images date from after the 1940s, with sculptors including Navas Parejo, Espinosa Cuadros, Blanco Pajares and Enrique Bellido standing out.

Holy Week ends on Easter Sunday with a tradition known as the Pintahuevos festival, in which the egg, a universal symbol of life, is decorated with beautiful, cheerful designs. 

The living Stations of the Cross, performed entirely by amateur townspeople, has already become a firm tradition of Holy Week in Segura de la Sierra. This custom was started by the town's young people back in 1982-83, and has since been performed periodically, whenever circumstances or timing allowed, by several generations of young — and not so young — people of Segura.

It is a humble performance, with no elaborate resources, whose main appeal lies in unfolding across locations throughout the town, combining the spectacle of the event with the wonderful settings that make up Segura de la Sierra.
