The Ayuntamiento have just published the dates and times here of the seven processions taking place during Semana Santa (Holy Week), a festival declared of Tourist Interest in Andalucia.
I have endeavoured to translate the website below and hope that it may be useful to residents and visitors alike but as always for accuracy please refer to the link above to the Ayuntamiento website.
There is also an interesting history on the website here about each procession, the pasos (platforms) and the brotherhoods associated with them. In spanish of course but a reasonable translation can be obtained using Google Translator if required. As follows:
