In La Pobla de Híjar, a small village in Lower Aragon, a biennial festival celebrates the musical reed — the Arundo donax plant used to make the reeds and mouthpieces for wind instruments across the world. From bagpipes and gaitas to saxophones, clarinets and oboes.

The festival is organised by the Musical Association “Fuera de Tono” with support from the local government, the Comarca del Bajo Martín and the Provincial Council of Teruel. In just a few years it has become the village’s flagship cultural event.
