He is a Christmas character from the Region of Navarre and the Basque Country. He is a neglected old charcoal burner, fat, big-headed and full of soot that announces the arrival of the Winter Solstice and the coal he produces to heat homes (figuratively the arrival or birth of Jesus, that is, Christmas). There is also a belief that he is the one who distributes gifts to all Basques.
