Holy Week in Zaragoza, although not as elaborate an affair as its Andalusian or Bajo Aragón counterparts, has several processions passing through the city centre every day with dramatic sculptures, black-dressed praying women and hundreds of hooded people playing drums. It has been a Festival of International Tourist Interest since 2014.{{cite web |url=http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2014/03/18/pdfs/BOE-A-2014-2904.pdf |title=Boletín Oficial del Estado |access-date=2018-01-07 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304233051/http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2014/03/18/pdfs/BOE-A-2014-2904.pdf |archive-date=2016-03-04 }}{{cite news|title=La Semana Santa zaragozana es declarada de Interés Turístico Internacional|url=https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/aragon/zaragoza/2014/03/18/la-semana-santa-zaragozana-es-declarada-de-interes-turistico-internacional-235423.html|newspaper=Heraldo de Aragón|accessdate=19 August 2023|language=es|date=18 March 2014}}
