The Cowbells of Tamames

Curiosity · Tamames, Campo de Salamanca, Salamanca

Image of Tamames, not of the place itself.

At the end of January the village children wake the neighbourhood at dawn by sounding cowbells through the streets, in two separate processions that compete with each other, one of the most singular winter customs of the sierra.
