The Turbas de Cuenca have stayed awake through the night of Good Friday. In front of the parish church of El Salvador, they beat drums and blow tin trumpets. The noise can be heard throughout Cuenca for hours before the procession begins. Plaza Salvador, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The Turbas tradition dates back to their first procession on 4 April 1616. Members, known as turbos, wear the robes of their brotherhoods. The trumpets' off-key sound is called clariná, the drumbeat palillá.
