The Easter holidays are coming and surely you are looking forward to take that well-deserved rest and enjoy the parties of these dates. For this reason, from Grupo Hotel Scala we want to encourage you to experience the Holy Week of Padrón, a town that is just a few minutes away from our Hotel Scala but far enough away so you can rest. Padrón is known for having a particularly long festivities, which are composed of parites with orchestras, performances and fair attractions, as well as religious events and sporting events.

The processions of saints are one of the main tourist attractions of the Galician towns; and since it could not be less, they are also from Padrón. Among them are the Encuentro, the Santo Entierro and Os Caladiños and the Santa Cruz del Calvario, the most striking for tourists and locals since it leaves at 23:30 at night and is composed of hooded faithfuls making noise with their carracks and rattles, a percussion band and devotees with chains tied to their bare feet.
Taking advantage of the fact that neighbors and visitors go out to the street to see the marches, Padrón is full of octopus stands, fair attractions, street markets and all the party fun. This is an ideal experience if you visit us as a family, since both young and olders will have many ways of having fun and a good time. Also, what better occasion to taste Galician gastronomy? At nightfall, the party continues, as different orchestras will offer their performances for all those who dare to dance until late night.
Another attraction of these dates is the already traditional Feira Cabalar, during which equestrian shows, competitions between purebred and crossbred horses, dressage carousels and many other activities will take place. But the celebrations in Padrón don't end on Sunday, the 1st of Easter. Extend your stay in our Hotel Scala because in this jovial town the parties continue until Sunday 8 of Pascuilla: a whole week of music, folkloric dances, parades with big headed charicatures and other typical Galician traditions.
Don't wait any longer and book your stay at Grupo Hotel Scala, and enjoy your best Easter holidays with all the comfort and convenience. Live the most intense Easter celebrations and let yourself be amazed by Padrón's charm! We are waiting for you.
