Living Stations of the Cross

During Holy Week, the town of Vilanova showcases a remarkable display of imagination and devotion, staging a popular theatrical reenactment of the Passion according to Saint Mark, with the participation of all the residents of this beautiful locality on Maundy Thursday.

This theatrical representation is so realistic and dramatic that it completely immerses you in the historical moment it seeks to recreate. The sound of drums accompanies the procession of Romans, and the enchanting music of strings fills the atmosphere of Vilanova and its monastery.

This Stations of the Cross is one of the most famous dramatizations of Holy Week in Asturias, and it takes place in the incomparable setting of Vilanova, where the monastic air makes you feel as if you were transported to the Middle Ages, the Baroque era, or the 18th century.

Furthermore, the hospitality of the people, the beauty of the landscape, and the excellent gastronomy of the area are additional attractions when it comes to witnessing this theatrical representation during Holy Week.
