Gigantes, Castilla, Spain.
Cabezudos en las fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian, Viejo San Juan, San Juan, Puerto Rico. (2012) Los gigantes y cabezudos son una tradición popular celebrada en muchas fiestas locales de Europa occidental y América Latina. La tradición consiste en hacer desfilar ciertas figuras bailando y animando, los gigantes, o persiguiendo a la gente que acude a la celebración.
Cabezudos during the San Sebastian Street festival at Old San Juan, San Juan, Puerto Rico. (2012) Gigantes y Cabezudos (Portuguese: gigantones e cabeçudos; Valencian: Gegants i cabuts; Catalan: gegants i capgrossos; Basque: erraldoi eta buruhandiak; English: Giant and big-headed) are costumed figures in Spanish and Portuguese festivals. The main feature of these figures is typically their papier maché head; bodies are covered in clothing matching the costume's theme. Cabezudos are smaller figures, usually to the human scale, that feature an oversized, carton-pierre head. The heads are worn with a matching costume. The person dressed as cabezudo will use one hand to hold his head, while the other hand carries a whip or pig bladder, used to frighten children or young women. Seeing through the "mouth" of the head, he will chase after these people, though he might pause to calm a frightened child. As with the giants, the cabezudos typically represent archetypes of their town.

CUBOZUDOS
Lo que empezó siendo una propuesta de cartel para las Fiestas del Pilar 2024, ya que se celebran los 25 años de la nueva comparsa de gigantes y cabezudos, ha acabado siendo un diseño muy molón para presumir de Zaragoza. Una manera diferente de ver los cabezudos de nuestra ciudad. ¿Los reconoces a todos? Y si quieres tener una camiseta o una taza para ser el maño o la maña más molón, puedes…
