La Loa and the Judas

Activity · Sotoserrano, Sierra de Francia, Salamanca

Image of Sotoserrano, not of the place itself.

On 31 August La Loa is performed, a theatrical piece descended from the autos sacramentales that stages the struggle between good and evil. In Semana Santa the young men hang a straw figure in the square, the Judas, which on Easter Monday is tossed and burned.
