Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Argentina is a blend of solemn religious observance and family time. In cities like Tandil, people reenact the Passion of Christ with elaborate processions. Many Argentines travel during this time, with coastal towns being popular destinations. Traditional foods include empanadas de vigilia (meatless empanadas) and tortillas de bacalao (cod fritters). In the northern provinces, the indigenous Quechua influence is evident in colorful ceremonies combining Catholic and pre-Columbian traditions. Buenos Aires hosts a Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) around the Obelisco, attracting thousands of participants.
