If you are looking for the perfect destination to experience these special dates, Hotel Sirimiri offers the best location and comfort for you to enjoy this celebration to the fullest.

Processions with history and devotion

During Holy Week, the streets of Bilbao are filled with emotion as impressive processions organised by religious brotherhoods take place. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, you can witness striking religious parades, some with centuries of history, making their way through the Casco Viejo and the city centre. The solemnity and grandeur of these processions turn each step into an unforgettable spectacle.

By staying at Hotel Sirimiri, you will be just minutes away from the key locations where these events take place, allowing you to experience Holy Week without long commutes.

Savour the traditional flavours of Holy Week

No visit to Bilbao is complete without enjoying its exquisite gastronomy, and Holy Week is no exception. During these days, the city's restaurants and bars offer traditional dishes that are deeply rooted in Basque culture.

Bacalao al pil-pil is one of the most iconic dishes, prepared with olive oil, garlic, and chilli. Garlic soup is a warming and flavourful dish, perfect for the cool spring nights. Marmitako de bonito is a fisherman’s stew that delights every palate. For a sweet touch, torrijas and leche frita are the star desserts of the season, traditional treats that you simply must try.

Discover the unique atmosphere of Bilbao during Holy Week

Beyond the processions and gastronomy, Holy Week in Bilbao is an ideal time to stroll through the Casco Viejo, take a peaceful boat trip along the estuary, or admire the avant-garde architecture of the Guggenheim Museum. If you are looking for breathtaking views, the Artxanda Funicular will take you to a lookout point where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the city.

In addition, you can experience the Bilbao Basque Fest 2025, an open festival for locals and visitors wishing to celebrate Basque culture. From 16th to 19th April, you will have the chance to enjoy a packed programme of activities that showcase the region's unique traditions.
