As a reflection of its cultural, historic and spiritual importance, Holy Week in Cuenca was declared Fiesta of International Tourist Interest of Spain.

Porters called Banceros carry them on a platform or staves.

Processions are the main event of Semana Santa in Cuenca.

Generally, the processions move through the city center, from their home Church to the Cathedral and Plaza Mayor or surrounding areas.

A few exceptions to the 'standard' routing make every parade unique.
