Easter Week in Albalate del Arzobispo
Festivity of International Tourist InterestAlbalate del Arzobispo
Albalate del Arzobispo in Teruel is one of the nine villages on the Easter Drums Route.
Throughout Easter Week, the roll and rumble of these instruments invade every corner of these towns in southern Aragon. The most awaited moment of these celebrations in Albalate del Arzobispo is the “rompida de la hora” (breaking of the hour) at midnight on Maundy Thursday leading into Good Friday. Hundreds of people playing drums congregate in the square and, when midnight strikes, they start to play in unison, filling the night with thunder. On Good Friday morning, on the Way of the Cross procession, the drums accompany the figure of Christ around the streets. And on the same day at dusk, the Holy Burial procession takes place with all the processional sculptures and lay brotherhoods, preceded by the unmistakable sound of drums marking the pace.
