Corpus Christi Day 5: Today's Cuenca Schedule
Cuenca Expat Staff
Corpus Christi keeps rolling in Cuenca today, June 8, with the main activity still centered around the Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Parque Calderon.
If you have been meaning to go for sweets, photos, the religious events, or just the atmosphere, today is Day 5 of the septenario.
Today's Religious Schedule
The religious schedule includes:
- 07:00 - opening Eucharist
- 09:00 - Eucharist
- 12:00 - Eucharist
- 15:00 - Eucharist
- 19:00 - closing Eucharist
After the 19:00 service, the procession is expected around 20:00.
Procession Route
The procession route is listed along:
- Benigno Malo
- Sucre
- Luis Cordero
- Bolivar
That means the streets immediately around Parque Calderon will be busy again tonight.
Castle Burning
After the religious acts finish, the cultural side begins with the traditional quema de castillos.
That is expected to start after 20:30.
What This Means For Expats
This is a good night to use the tram, walk in, or get dropped off outside the busiest blocks. If you drive into El Centro, expect slow movement and tight parking.
Bring small bills if you are buying sweets, keep your phone close in the crowd, and give yourself extra time if you need to cross the center after dinner.
