Carnaval de Zubieta: los joaldunak

Activity · Zubieta, Baztan-Bidasoa, Navarra

On the Monday before Ash Wednesday, the joaldunak of Zubieta —wearing sheepskins, conical hats, and cowbells on their backs— go from house to house in the village collecting pork products and eggs before walking the three kilometers to Ituren; the following day they receive the visit of the joaldunak from Ituren. It is Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial (Intangible Cultural Heritage) of Spain.
