It begins on Sunday, April 10, and ends on the 17th of this same month.
A priori, the Official Race will be maintained, implemented with novelties in 2019 and that after two years of pandemic they have not been able to enjoy. However, to provide information on the itinerary of the processions during these days, the Brotherhoods of Córdoba propose the use of a free downloadable application developed by them.
