For those want to know:

Semana Santa/ Holy Week will be Sunday April 5th to Sunday April 12th. But I think that vacationers will be here since the 3rd or 4th of April. According to my investigation, I hope my dates are correct.Let's get ready for the madness.

For those who are interested Holy Week is:

in Christianity is the last week of Lent and the week before Easter. It includes the religious holidays of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) and Good Friday, and lasts from Palm Sunday (or in the Eastern, Lazarus Saturday) until but not including Easter Sunday, as Easter Sunday is the first day of the new season of The Great Fifty Days. It commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ culminating in his crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

I got this from the Wikipedia website. Here is the link for those who want to read more.
