The departments of Culture and Revitalisation of the Old Town, in collaboration with the Junta Mayor de Hermandades y Cofradias de Semana Santa (the organisation that coordinates the Holy Week processions), are launching the initiative ‘A la llum dels ciris’ which will consist of lighting only with candles the Plaza de la Villa and adjacent streets in the centre of the old town next Saturday 22nd March.
The aim is to create an intimate atmosphere within the Easter events that will serve as a setting for a travelling concert by the Unión Musical Calp Ifach and a concert by the Rondalla de Calpe which is scheduled for 8pm at the door of the Parroquia Virgen de las Nieves.
This initiative completes and enriches Holy Week in Calpe, offering a special night in which the inhabitants of the city can enjoy the historic centre of Calpe from a new and intimate perspective.
The Councillor for Culture and the Old Town, Guillermo Sendra, is calling on local residents and businesses to take part in this event and to decorate their shop fronts and balconies with candles or torches that night and collaborate with this municipal initiative.
