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

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...

Thanks for the link. Looks like i should be good for early april.

It should be the week leading to Easter Sunday.

Viernes Santo
Sabado de Gloria
Domingo de resureccion.

Easter is Sunday April 24. Ley de Seca (no alcohol sales) will be Thursday & Friday April 21 & 22.
