The popular municipal group of Peñaranda has announced that it will ask the City Council to unify and reorganize the electrical wiring in the streets through which the Holy Week 2026 processions take place since, at several points, the cables cross the street at a low height, which requires them to be raised with poles as the images pass.
A situation that, according to the PP, “poses a risk to the crossings, hinders the normal development of the processions and projects a poorly maintained image of the city” which is why they consider that “as long as the definitive removal of this wiring by the supply company is not possible, it is necessary to adopt an intermediate solution that makes it possible to avoid snags in the images, improve the safety of the routes, reduce the visual impact of the wiring and dignify the processional layout.”
They assure that Holy Week is one of the events that attracts the most people on the street and one of the main cultural and tourist showcases of Peñaranda and that the City Council plans to request from the Junta de Castilla y León the declaration of Holy Week as an Asset of Regional Tourist Interest, “which reinforces the need to take care of all the details.”
