Post subject:  Semana Santa Dates?

Sorry to ask, but i have been digging on the internet for the past 30 minutes and found mixed info. One site has Semana Santa during the first week of April and a few others have it the week leading up to Easter Sunday. I am fairy certain it is the the later, but want to confirm. I am about to book 4/7-4/10 and would hate to spend my long weekend drinking diet coke and watching porn in my hotel room :oops:

Thanks in advance for clarifying.

I looked a few months ago and believed it to be late April. I am planing a early April trip. I just found this link...
