Of all the Holy Week celebrations that take place in Aragón, Híjar's is probably the oldest and most deeply rooted, and the one that is currently the most spectacular (as evidenced by the fact that almost 25 years ago was declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest).
For generations, the daughters have started a relationship of affection with the two instruments that play their Holy Week: the drum and the bass drum. From midnight on Holy Thursday (when the act of Breaking the Hour takes place), an exciting moment that no one who has lived can forget, in which at a signal from the mayor almost a thousand people dressed in black robes begin to play their drums and drums at the same time) until the sunset of Holy Saturday, the drums do not stop thundering through the streets of this town.
