On March 15, the city of Tarragona celebrated its annual Holy Week Band Gathering, featuring seven musical groups that filled the historic streets with traditional percussion and melodies.

Participating groups included the Banda Sant Pere Apòstol and Sones de Pasión from Reus, and the Banda del Sant Crist de Lepant i la Verge del Roser from Valls. They were joined by the drum section of the Cofradía del Santísimo Cristo de la Buena Muerte from Zuera.
The parade started at Cos del Bou street and wound through the old town's narrow passages. Local Tarragona bands, including La Soledat, Aspirants de la Sang, and La Presa de Jesús, also took part in the procession.
The event culminated at Plaça de les Cols, right at the foot of the Cathedral. A large crowd gathered on the iconic stone steps to applaud the final performances of the seven participating bands.
