Vera is one of the best destinations for enjoying
Holy Week and excellent beaches at the same time.
Along its five kilometres of coast are found fine
sand beaches and secluded inlets cut into the Almagrera
and Cabrera mountain ranges. The beaches come in all
sorts, from El Playazo the most frequented. To those
devoted to nudism on the extreme north end of the
coast.
All have crystalline waters that permit the practice
of any type of water sport; underwater sports are
a good choice. Another good option is to experience
its Holy week. On Holy Wednesday witness the way of
the Cross, on Holy Thursday see the procession of
the brotherhood od St Juan Bautista and Christ the
Merciful and on Good Friday the men arise in silence
and perform the Delivery of Jesus to Pilate, a procession
that conveys the image of Jesus from the hermitage
of San Ramón to the Plaza Mayor, where it meets
the Virgin and a priest delivers a religious exhortation.
A Roman soldier next pronounces Pilate’s sentence
and a day of absorption begins with the procession
of the other cafrodias. When you visit the village
makes a stop at the terraza Carmona or the Vera Hotel,
where the traditional cuisine will bolster the body
before you stroll through the pin-neat streets to
see the Incarnation Church, the Padres Minimos convert
or the vestiges of Muslim Vera on Espiritu Santo Hill.
