Plans for spending the day with your family at Easter together!

Easter is very close. And those of us who have children know that with the little ones we cannot abuse the processions. That’s why in this post we want to show several plans for spending the day with your family at Easter.

La Pollinica Procession on Palm Sunday

First of all the procession of La Pollinica.There are several singularities of this brotherhood: the children, the palms and, of course, the donkey.

Everything makes this procession an attraction for children. There are also many ‘mini Nazarenes’ who carry the palms. They are also struck by the fact that the figure of Jesus is on top of a donkey.

Excursion through the Torcal of Antequera

A second option is an excursion to an incredible and singular place: El Torcal de Antequera. There are three venderos but the most recommended with children is the green, 1.5 km and circular sense, as it is the shortest.

Perfect to spend a morning outdoors. To be able to jump from stone to stone, play hide and seek to see mountain goats and observe a different landscape to the one they are accustomed to.

Afterwards, we will go to the Visitors’ Centre to find out how the Natural Park was formed, its fauna, vegetation and history.

Júzcar the Town of the Smurfs

This village in the Ronda highlands became the first Smurf village in the world in 2011. Because Sony Pictures chose it to promote the film ‘Los Pitufos 3D’. Júzcar changed the traditional white houses, characteristic of the area, for the unmistakable smurf blue.

And they have kept them that way because of the great tourist boom they experienced. In addition there are many activities related to the world of Smurfs.
