Holy week celebrations differ from denomination to denomination.
Catholic celebrations will be similar to Catholic ones in Spain, with Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday Mass.
Protestants MAY do Holy Thursday (called Maundy Thursday), a Good Friday service, usually nothing on Saturday, and Easter services.
The Protestant services for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are somewhat varied in style and content. If they are a liturgical church (like Lutherans, Anglicans) then the services may be similar to the Catholic services on those days. But others like Presbyterians have a wide variety of services for these days-- so it is hard to pin it down to just one answer for you.
Easter Sunday, for all Christian denominations, is the day we celebrate the resurrection (coming back to life) of Jesus Christ, who foretold that he would come back to life on the third day after he died.

I'm not sure how the Spanish observe Holy week, but I believe they have a lot of festivals, and ceremonial parades. The U.S. does not as a whole observe holy week . The Catholic church does Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, and Easter Sunday. Most Protestant churches just have a special service on Easter Sunday and that is all. Families get together and have Easter Sunday dinner usually of Ham. Some hunt Easter eggs. Some do nothing.
Jesus was born to a virgin Mary, and earthly father Joseph, at 33 he began his ministry. He accused the priests of wickedness and false teachings. Gathered 12 followers, told them He was the Son of God, and that He had come to save man from eternal death. He healed the blind, and sick , He raised the dead. Promised that anyone who followed Him would have eternal life, and live with Him and His Father in heaven. Made the priests mad and they plotted to kill him. He was betrayed by one of His followers Judas, for 30 pieces of silver, and a kiss. He was beaten to a bloody pulp, hung on a cross between two thieves. He died and was buried in a rich mans tomb, and was raised 3 days later, and ascended to heaven where He sits at the right hand of God. He will return any day now to reclaim His followers and His bride the Church.
