Agrupación de Cofradías
The Agrupación de Cofradías de Semana Santa de Málaga was established in 1921 in order to gather all the religious fraternities of Málaga to enhance the processions of the Holy Week and to promote the collaboration between Brotherhoods.
It currently gathers 41 Brotherhoods, with a social direct support which reaches nearly 80,000 members. Among its main activities, the following should be mentioned: the organization of processions in the city and the promotion and dissemination of the Holy Week of Málaga. Social and charitable works are also remarkable, in addition to the actions carried out individually by each brotherhood.
