The day was characterized by radiant sunshine and spring weather compared to the beginning of Passion Week, where the rains that occurred both on Monday and Holy Tuesday caused the suspension of the processional steps. The influx of public has been outstanding, mainly in the Plaza de la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, where residents and tourists have been able to contemplate the various thrones and the rocking, and even after the departure of the Virgin, many attendees have raffled the controls and they have accessed the interior of the square.
