You\u2019ll see beautifully woven palm leaves everywhere, and the city vibrates excitedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday \u2013<\/strong> These days are filled with religious processions, silent marches, and music-filled celebrations. The energy builds up as the big days approach, and it\u2019s the perfect time to explore the churches, plazas, and handicrafts markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holy Thursday (Jueves Santo) \u2013<\/strong> The historic Templo de San Francisco de As\u00eds hosts an emotional ceremony where people reenact the Last Supper.
