The auction of the pernillas

Activity · Aldeacipreste, Sierra de Béjar, Salamanca

On 16 August, after the short procession of San Roque, the pernillas are auctioned among the devout: bids are made for the honour of holding one of the poles of the litter and carrying the saint at the moment of his entry into the church for mass.
