Image of Almedina, not of the place itself.

A tradition documented since the 14th century in which men bid to dance with the women, with the proceeds going to the souls in purgatory. It is held every year on 28 December, as part of the folklore and customs of Almedina, and the bidding can reach considerable sums of money.
