Some traditions are built around spectacle, and this one leans into it.<br /><br />The filmer, Jesus, told WooGlobe “El Jarramplas is a traditional and peculiar festival celebrated every January 19th and 20th in Piornal (Cáceres), Extremadura, in honor of Saint Sebastian. It features a character dressed in a multicolored ribbon costume and a conical mask with horns, who walks through the town playing a small drum while receiving a shower of turnips thrown by the villagers as a symbolic punishment.”<br /><br />In the street, a costumed figure moves forward as a crowd lines the route and turnips are thrown in rapid bursts.<br /><br />The masked participant continues walking through the town while people watch and keep tossing from close range.<br /><br />The scenes read like a coordinated ritual, with the steady forward march set against the constant impact of flying turnips.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA683096<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
