- Holy Week (Semana Santa) takes place during Easter and is a major holiday throughout Spain, featuring extravagant processions through the streets.
- Corpus Christi occurs on the ninth Thursday after Easter and is a major event. The Custodia de Arfe, the silver and gilt monstrance that is housed at the Cathedral of Toledo, is carried around the city on this holiday.
