Celebrating Easter in Ibiza?
Just a little longer and the Ibiza clubs open their doors, with hedonistic parties much written about. But before the island turns into a kind of Sodom and Gomorrah, one more very important traditional feast: Easter. Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Ibiza is an experience to remember. If you like a little drama or are curious about true Ibiza traditions, then you really need to be in Santa Eularia or Ibiza town on the last weekend of March.

Fervent Catholics worship their Saints by carrying the holy images on decorated bars. Thursday night (Jueves Santo) all the statues are carried from the churches of Ibiza town to the cathedral at the top of the old town, to “sleep” there before coming down again Friday night (Viernes Santo). A religious spectacle that lasts a few hours. The pace of walking and the drums make it look a bit like a funeral procession. The bearers walk barefoot and hide their faces under the tall, pointed hoods with the holes cut out only for their eyes. The bare feet and these outfits are atonement for Christ’s Passion and Mary’s Passion. But we think the robes look a bit like the Ku Klux Klan.
