Hotspot Locations of Semana Santa Marinera in Valencia
The whole maritime district will be buzzing for the two weeks of Semana Santa Marinera in Valencia. Many, many processions going back and forth on small unknown streets, and big processions in the well-known locations.
It is impossible to tell you the exact routes, there are too many of them. But there are 5 hotspot locations, where every single procession will pass at one point or another. Those are the ones you need to know to be able to enjoy every procession you fancy.
Apart from checking the locations on Multimap.com, you can see our general map of the hotspots with main procession routes.
1. Calle de la Reina
It is the main street of the maritime street and it has incredible
architecture (there have even been studies on it by Japanese historians),
especially along the northern length. By far not all smaller processions
will end up here, but the street is excellent for watching the three big
events. It's length gives you an excellent perspective and the number
of people make it a festival.

Then, there are the 4 parishes of the maritime district:
2. The Temple
Brotherhoods
in the parish: 9
The real name is Iglesia
de Santa Maria del Mar (the Church of Holy Mary of the Sea) but the
locals refer to it as "the maritime Cathedral" or simply "the
Temple". As you have guessed, the church is the religious centre
of the district, with all major events congregating here. It is a stunning
building both inside and outside - the best preserved Rennaisance church
in Valencia, with rich ornament of pure gold. In front of the church is
a cosy square where the members of processions will socialize before starting
- a nice buzz to mingle in. Located on Avenida del Puerto, right at the
end.

3. Iglesia de los Angeles
Brotherhoods in the parish: 9
This is the religious focus of the Northern part of the maritime district.
Neo-classical church with a colonial feel in front of a cosy square. The
second busiest place in the district during the Semana Santa. Located
on Plaza de los Angeles.

4. Iglesia del Rosario
Brotherhoods
in the parish: 5
This cute church is a short walk from the Temple, in front of a just as
cute a square. The neo-classical interior is also amazing, very recently
restored. The Rosario square is great for a more intimate, cosy feel to
the processions. Located on Plaza del Rosario.

5. Iglesia San Rafael
Brotherhoods
in the Parish: 5
Probably the least known church in the district, it is also the least
active hotspot during the Semana Santa, and only marginally enters into
the 5 hotspots. There won't be that many processions around here. However,
it is worth a visit - the doll-house-castle architecture is stunning and
impossible to classify. Like many houses on the calle la Reina, this church
is a work of art. Located on la Reina, as it is crossed by Avenida Mediterraneo.
