Good Friday in Granada begins with the departure of the Soledad from the Church of Santo Domingo at three in the afternoon. Its route through Plaza Carnicería and the Realejo, reaching Campo del Príncipe, plunges the city into a palpable silence, which intensifies with its return to the temple.
At 4:00 PM, the Ferroviarios brotherhood begins its penitential station from San Juan de Letrán. Their extensive itinerary crosses hospitals and squares, blending the scent of incense with daily life, culminating in their return past midnight, having traversed the heart of Granada.
The Favores descend from the Church of San Cecilio in the mid-afternoon, with a solemnity that highlights the weight of devotion. Their passage through the slopes and corners of the Realejo, and their arrival at the Cathedral, envelop the Granadan night, returning to their neighborhood in the early hours of the morning.
From San José de Calasanz, Escolapios displays its procession with two floats that advance with a steady cadence through the city center. As they cross the Official Route, the public's murmur turns into contained respect, and their slow return, past midnight, extends the night's atmosphere.
The absolute gravity arrives with the Santo Sepulcro, which departs from Plaza Nueva when night already dominates Granada. Its route draws a map of contemplation, without haste or noise, only the weight of history and respect for the irreversible. Almost simultaneously, another Soledad sets out from the Monastery of San Jerónimo, with a long itinerary that crosses the streets to the Carrera de la Virgen, returning in the early morning and leaving Granada immersed in a profound silence.
