The Niñato of the conscripts (straw effigy)

Curiosity · Navarrevisca, Burgohondo - El Tiemblo - Cebreros, Ávila

Image of Navarrevisca, not of the place itself.

Before Semana Santa the conscripts parade a straw-stuffed figure they call the Niñato, a recollection of the send-off of the young men who left for military service; the custom is still alive in the village's calendar.
