From this moment on, the students who come to Valencia to study Spanish can not only enjoy the typical processions of this festivity, but also the great climate of the city, the company of the other students in the course of Spanish, and the different acts which complement the processions and the religious rites.

In Valencia the Holy Week is celebrated in a special way. Some of the acts are a bit different from what is usual to do in the rest of Spain.
