Otsaila, inauterien hilabetea #7 / February, the month of masquerades #7
Joaldunak, characters of the traditional masquerade of Ituren & Zubieta.
Joaldunak carry two big cowbells on their back, making it sound while marching from Zubieta to Ituren - the first day - and from Ituren to Zubieta - the second.
This loud sound is thought to be made to wake earth up from its winter sleep and announce that spring is coming.
