Summary
Traditional Festivity in Spain
Annually on February 2-3, the town of Almonacid del Marquesado in central Spain hosts the vibrant "Endiablada" (The Brotherhood of the Devils) festivals, a tradition dating back to medieval times or earlier in honor of the Candelaria and San Blas. During this lively event, male participants don devilish attire, including vivid jumpsuit costumes and red miter hats. Adorned with sizable copper cowbells around their waists, the festivity unfolds as they traverse the town's meandering streets, engaging in dances, jumps, and visits to the cemetery. This festival has been designated as a national tourist attraction in Spain.
