Who we are?

“Caminos de Pasión- The Passion Trails” is a tourist initiative involving eleven towns and villages in the geographical centre of Andalusia (Spain): Alcalá la Real (Jaen), Antequera (Malaga), Baena, Cabra, Lucena, Priego de Córdoba and Puente Genil (Cordoba) and Carmona, Écija, Estepa and Osuna (Seville).

The Asociación para el Desarrollo Turístico de la Ruta Caminos de Pasión (Association for the Tourist Development of ‘Caminos de Pasion’) was created in 2002 when these towns and villages united to promote one special feature common to all of them: a spectacular Easter Week celebration officially recognised as an Andalusian Festival of Tourist Interest. These towns also constitute major cultural attractions in Andalusia thanks to their magnificent heritage of architecture, art and popular tradition.

Since 2006 “Caminos de Pasión” have been supported by the Andalusian Regional Government’s Department of Tourism, Trade and Sport which, working through EPTA, S.A. (Empresa Pública Turismo Andaluz – Andalusian Public Tourism Company), has encouraged and sponsored the development and promotion of this new concept of tourism as part of the rich variety of attractions offered by Andalusia’s tourist sector.
