Founded by the Venerable Third Order of Saint Francis in the 18th century, the Holy Week of Mondoñedo maintains the austerity values of the mendicant orders. During the celebration events, the Procession of Solitude stands out, performed to the rhythm of the Plorans by Maestro Pacheco or the traditional climb to the Convent of the Peaks following the stations of its via crucis.

It is a Festival of Tourist Interest of Galicia.
