In most Spanish towns, street processions are typically organized during religious festivals, particularly during Holy Week (Semana Santa) leading up to Easter. These processions usually take place in the evening, often starting around sunset, as the twilight provides a dramatic backdrop for the solemnity of the events. The timing can vary by locality, with some towns holding processions earlier in the day or at different times throughout the week.

There are many towns and cities that are considered to hold amazing Easter processions during Semana Santa. Malaga and Seville both hold processions that are known to be brilliant, nationwide if not worldwide. According to wikipedia: "Linares' Holy Week has been declared of National Tourist Interest since 1998" so I'm guessing that's got to be pretty good!
Catholics hold religious processions as a way to publicly express their faith, devotion, and community spirit.
