Where to go for Semana Santa in 2017

A few years ago, I went to Málaga, Spain, for Semana Santa. It was a wonderful experience, and I'd like to go to Spain again for Semana Santa. I enjoyed Málaga, but I am looking for other cities that have similar celebrations.

I rented a seat in Málaga, so that I was able to watch in comfort. I will need to do that again.

Any suggestions?

For a real change of pace, we went to Semana Santa in Antigua, Guatemala one year. They make "rugs" from sawdust in the street on the night before the last procession, knowing full well it would be trampled upon. And it is interesting town.

I decided on Málaga because I know it, and I didn't want to deal with the crowds in Sevilla.

Maybe I need to start thinking about South America, though.
