Yes, agree. From Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday it is very, very busy.

We will not be leaving our place when there are tons of people, just like we did between Christmas and a little after New Year's.

I noticed that schools are closed both weeks. Historically, is one week significantly busier than the other? Is it comparable to New Years?

Both weeks are utter madness, the first week a little more than the second. Think Coney Island on a Fourth of July weekend. If you like crowds, this is the time to come.

I don't expect things to be normal by this year's Semana Santa holidays.

The Thursday BEFORE Easter Sunday is when any large influx of people start.
