About this Event
✝️ Procesión del Entierro & Semana Santa in Sineu 2026 One of the most authentic and deeply rooted Holy Week celebrations in Mallorca unfolds in the historic village of Sineu , where tradition, devotion, and community come together in a powerful way. At the heart of the programme is the Solemníssima Processó del Sant Enterrament ( Procesión del Entierro ), taking place on Good Friday night – a moving and atmospheric procession that transforms the streets into a scene of candlelight, silence, and centuries-old ritual. 🕯️ A week of tradition & music Semana Santa in Sineu begins on 27 March with an opening speech and a special concert by the Filharmònica Porrerenca , celebrating its 170th anniversary – a group with a long-standing connection to the village and its Good Friday procession. The following evening, the parish church hosts a beautiful performance of “The Seven Last Words of Christ” by Joseph Haydn , performed by musicians from the Balearic Symphony Orchestra – setting a reflective tone for the days ahead. ✝️ The highlight: Procesión del Entierro 📅 Divendres Sant (3 April) 🕰️ 22:30h 📍 Through the streets of Sineu This solemn nighttime procession is one of the most emblematic moments of the week. Dozens of confraternities (confraries) , traditional figures, and religious images move slowly through the town, accompanied by live music from bands across Mallorca — including Sineu, Montuïri, Porreres, and Algaida. ✨ A standout moment takes place in Plaça de l’Església , where the image of the Mare de Déu de la Soledat is received with a live performance of Ave Maria (Schubert) , creating an unforgettable atmosphere of emotion and reverence. ✨ This year also features the Joc de Ministrils del Consell de Mallorca , adding a unique historical and ceremonial dimension to the procession. 📖 The full procession route and participating confraternities can be found in the official programme below. 🌿 More than a procession Throughout the week, Sineu invites locals and visitors to take part in its traditions: • Wear the traditional cuculla • Experience the village lit by candles and silence • Enjoy the local gastronomy – especially the traditional frit de freixura , served in bars and cellers before and after the procession ✨ Why go? Sineu offers one of the most authentic Semana Santa experiences in Mallorca – less crowded than Palma, but deeply atmospheric, with a strong sense of community and heritage. 💡 Tip: Arrive early and stay for the full evening – the atmosphere builds slowly and the most emotional moments happen as the procession passes through the church square.
