Durante las fiestas de San Lorenzo (9-15 de agosto) uno de los actos mas interesantes es la actuación de los danzantes, que ejecutan una serie de bailes con palos y espadas mientras recorren las calles de la ciudad. Los danzantes son los descendientes de los hortelanos que llevan siglos habitando en la comarca de la Hoya de Huesca y sus danzas tienen relación con ritos guerreros y de fertilidad.

From the 9th thru 15th August each year is the major festival of San Lorenzo (saint lawrence) The patron saint of Huesca born just a couple of kilometres from here and put to death on a griddle. During this week almost everyone dresses in green and white in honour of the saint and it is also the colour of the sweet basil in flower which is carried by many and displayed on balconies
