Holy Week is the religious and festive event celebrated with the greatest fervour, emotion, recollection and devotion that visitors will encounter in the Lower Aragon region. The Drum Route is one of the region's hallmarks, and event declared by the Spanish government to be of National Tourist Interest. It lets visitors to the region witness countless noise-filled processions and “Rompida de la Hora” (Breaking of the Hour) events that have brought international fame to the towns that comprise the route, as reflected in several films made by Luis Buñuel.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS...

 

BREAKING OF THE HOUR. Holy Friday. Calanda. Come at 12 noon on Holy Friday and feel how the silence is broken by the rumble of hundreds of drums.

DRAMA OF THE CRUCIFIXION. Holy Friday. Alcorisa. This recreation of  the passion and death of Jesus is so realistic that makes the viewer feel as in Judea of Century I.

SANTO ENTIERRO PROCESSION. Holy Saturday. Alcañiz. Irruption of blue tunics and "terceroles" in Plaza de España, to seal the tomb under the sober and deep soun of Alcañiz's drums.
