The Moss Men

Activity · Béjar, Sierra de Béjar, Salamanca

Image of Béjar, not of the place itself.

In the Corpus Christi procession residents parade covered in moss from head to foot. Tradition links them to the legend of the recovery of the town from the Muslims by men camouflaged with moss who climbed the wall unseen.
