The city of Granada commenced an extensive clean-up and dismantling operation this Easter Monday to restore normalcy following the Holy Week celebrations, with particular emphasis on removing wax and temporary structures.

After a week of intense processions and public holidays, the citizens of Granada are returning to their usual routines. Concurrently, the local administration is working to restore the city's customary appearance, which was temporarily altered in the city center by grandstands and other elements of the Parihuela Plan.
Dismantling work began on Sunday at midday, immediately after the last brotherhood completed its route through the city center and the official procession area. These efforts are focused on the grandstands located in Carrera de la Virgen, Ganivet, and Pasiegas, and will continue for several days due to the large number of metal structures that need to be removed and cleaned.
Simultaneously, a rapid response plan for wax removal has been launched, which will last for several weeks. The first areas to be addressed include Gran Vía, Reyes Católicos, and streets such as San Matías, Mesones, Ganivet, and Carrera de la Virgen, identified as the points with the highest accumulation of residue.
In addition to wax and grandstands, special signage, both vertical and horizontal, installed for crowd control during the festive days, will be removed. Extra waste bins that were placed to enhance urban cleanliness will also be taken away.
