It was institutionally created by the Catholic Monarchs as main festival after the conquest of the city.

The parade (“procesión”) in honour to the custody that contained the body of Jesus Christ was formed by all the parrish churches of the city and its valley who, furthermore, were the responsible of covering with sedge the surface allover the route. Since its beginning, the archbishop Hernando de Talavera tried to get all the sectors of the population involved so in the parade where also Moorish “zambras” as well as different carts with plays and theatre representations. The “procesión” became bigger and bigger; so in 1573 a Sinodic Constitution had to be established to determine the order of the suite and the type of “shows” that could go with the “procesión”.



According to the documents, since 1632 there was also the “paseo de la ciudad” (“walk of the city”) which consisted in a party parade with demons, giants, big-heads and the mythical Tarasca.

This two “procesiones” are still performed today. On Wednesday, we can see “La Pública” aimed to children and youngsters starred by La Tarasca, a statue of a woman on a dragon dressed with the clothes that would be fashionable that season. And, on Thursday, the main day, the religious “procesión” which is chaired by the throne made by the goldsmith and sculptor from Granada Miguel Moreno.

There is still a tradition of raising altars along the route of the “procesión”.

At Bibrambla square the so-called “Carocas” are shown: satirical cartoons about the events which happened in the city during the previous year.

El escritor recibió el Premio Cervantes en 1987 y el Premio Príncipe de Asturias en 1994. Entre las obras más destacadas de Fuentes, que fue muy crítico durante toda su vida con México por no haber construido una democracia más auténtica, figuran títulos como "La muerte de Artemio Cruz" y "Terra Nostra".

En 2008 el escritor español Juan Goytisolo dijo que Carlos Fuentes logró junto con Gabriel García Márquez y el resto de los "autores del boom latinoamericano" que la literatura española de nuevo reflejara la modernidad después de que España diera la espalda a la cultura universal durante siglos.
