Corpus Christi in Granada is a week-long festival held in June that combines religious processions with a traditional feria (fair) 1 2. It features devotional parades (including the Tarasca and the Main Corpus procession), as well as an open-air fairground at the Recinto Ferial. The week is noted for street decorations (carocas and cartoon banners), lavishly adorned processions through the old town (including by the Cathedral), and a festive atmosphere of music, rides, and gastronomic stalls throughout the city 1 2.
In Granada, the Corpus Christi embodies baroque Catholic traditions and Andalusian festive spirit. The Tarasca (a dragon-carriage procession) and the religious solemnity coexist with folk elements like satirical 'carocas' posters, reflecting Granada's blend of piety and local humor. It is considered Granada’s 'fiesta principal' of the year 1.
