cipotegato 6
A somewhat burlesque and harlequinized character of the Tarazona festivities to whom people throw tomatoes in the main square. He carries a rod attached to a ball that originally, perhaps in the sixteenth century, was an inflated cat's bladder with which he scared away the annoying birds of prey in the Corpus Christi procession. The revelry of the people of Turiason during the festivities of San Atilano at the end of August is very contagious.
