People enjoy Spain’s first Carnival celebration of the year

  • 8 years ago
Footage has emerged from Spain of a parade during 'La Vijanera', a pre-Roman festival in Cantabria.

The video, shot on Sunday, shows people dressed up as 'Zamarracos' - a costume made of fur and with enormous cowbells - walking on the streets of Silio village.

La Vijanera is one of the earliest winter masquerades of pre-Roman origin and celebrates the end of Winter and the cycle of change.
