Romería de la Santa Faz in Alicante
Romería de la Santa Faz marks the traditional Christian pilgrimage each year on the second Thursday following Holy Week.
The eight kilometer pilgrimage gets started at 8 am at San Nicholas Cathedral. It ends at Santa Faz Monastery.
Along the way, short breaks called “paraetas” are taken where you sip typical Alicante wine and eat anise rolls.
