Cartagena bids farewell to a crowded Easter with the Resurrection Sunday procession.�The city and the coast are filled with visitors these days, with over 90% occupancy in hotels and apartments thanks to the good weather, processions, and sporting events promoted by the Cartagena City Council.

Foreigners and locals have enjoyed an Easter that was the first in all of Spain to take to the streets,�with the Stations of the Cross of the Christ of Socorro. The images of this procession were broadcast on several national television channels, such as Antena 3 or Spanish Television, a sign of the media interest generated by this festivity declared of International Tourist Interest.��

The order, the floral ornamentation, and the light of the thrones and torches, as well as the music, are the distinctive signs of an Easter that also shows its military character, given the city’s connection with the Armed Forces.

Precisely, the Picket of the 73rd Artillery Regiment of Tentegorra was in charge of closing this Resurrection Sunday. The procession of the Brotherhood of Our Father Jesus Resurrected took to the streets on April 20 to announce the miracle of life in a parade that was attended by Mayor Noelia Arroyo.
