One of the most traditional events is the singing of <em>Caramelles<\/em>, again providing the annual soundtrack for this festivity. Over 150 singers and musicians will be taking to the streets to perform these classic compositions and others created more recently. During the evening of 19 April, from roughly 10 pm to 11 pm, the three local groups (El Retiro, Prado and Caramelles Sitgetanes) will be offering the first joint performance in Pla\u00e7a de l&#8217;Ajuntament.\u00a0 Following the performance, Sitges Town Council will be offering a tasting of typical <em>Monfl\u00f3 de Pascua<\/em> cakes accompanied by <em>Malvasia de Sitges<\/em> wine, courtesy of the Hospital Sant Joan Baptista de Sitges. The three groups will then be performing again at the church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, once the Easter Vigil celebration ends around 11.30 pm. The three groups will coincide again at the Hospital de Sant Joan Baptista on Monday, 21 April. On the same day, the three groups will be performing individually around the streets of Sitges, at houses, shops and hospitality establishments. In parallel, and also in keeping with tradition, that same Monday will see <em>Caramelles<\/em> sung at the Santuari del Vinyet after the mass that starts at 11 am.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The programme for Easter kicks off in Pla\u00e7a de l&#8217;Ajuntament on Sunday, 13 April, with the blessing of palm leaves and olive branches at 12.30 pm. Before that, there will be blessings in the square by the church of Sant Joan Baptista in the neighbourhood of Poble Sec (11 am), and at the Escola Pia (11.30 am).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During Easter, and through until Easter Monday, tradition and popular culture will be present in Sitges through other activities such as the Easter Procession. The <em>Paso <\/em>(procession representing an episode of the Passion) sets off on Friday, 18 April, with the following route: \u00a0Baluard, Mirador Miquel Utrillo, Fonollar, Baluard Vidal i Quadras, Port de n\u2019Alegre, Rafael Llopart, Sant Dami\u00e0, Sant Sebasti\u00e0, Jes\u00fas, Sant Bartomeu, Sant Gaudenci, Sant Francesc, Cap de la Vila, Major, Pl.
