Prepared to be moved by this Holy Week event in Rojales and discover the town's age-old traditions.

Escenificación de Jueves Santo, the Maundy Thursday Reenactment, in Rojales, also known as the Pasión del Calvario, is an event that draws large crowds of locals and visitors, imbued with a deep sense of reverence.

This reenactment is organised by the Santísimo Cristo de la Buena Muerte y la Santa Crucifixión Brotherhood and takes place on the holy site of Mount Calvary. The event is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Holy Week in Rojales.

The powerful performance which narrates the trial and crucifixion of Christ, is a great thing to see during your visit to this inland town in Alicante.

While in Rojales, we also recommend visiting its historic hydraulic monuments, which include the bridge, waterwheel and weir, in addition to wandering around the picturesque huertas - the surrounding fields lined with crops and vegetables. If you’re here during Holy Week, you’ll get the chance to see this biblical performance, carefully curated by the local brotherhood for a glimpse into an authentic Valencian Easter.
