Overview

• Badajoz’s San Andrés closed its triduum with the first outing of the 18th‑century Virgen de la Merced in more than fifty years, using parihuelas from the Hermandad del Descendimiento to mark roughly 300 years since the image’s arrival.
• Granada’s city hall has activated a special device of 105 Policía Local agents and 63 Inagra operatives to manage crowds and cleaning for the patronal procession.
• The ‘procesión del pueblo’ is set for 16:00 on Sunday with the Virgen’s salida at 17:30, following a central route that includes Carrera de la Virgen, Gran Vía, Plaza de las Pasiegas and Puerta Real before returning to the basílica.
• Inagra will begin a post‑procession wax‑removal operation at 21:00 using more than 40 workers, 17 hot‑water high‑pressure teams, 20 scraping crews and support vehicles, aiming to finish before 07:00 Monday.
• Organizers plan to hand out 10,000 portavelas, authorize 21 vendor stalls at Puerta Real and the start of the Carrera, deploy about twenty Protección Civil volunteers across multiple teams, restrict traffic from 15:30 to 23:30 and divert several bus lines.
