A Zarron hits a young man during the last day of Zarron festival in Almazan, north of Spain. El Zarron of Almazan Festival is a shepherds tradition just over 200 hundred years old that honours Saint Pascual Bailon, patron saint of shepherds. El Zarron is a character that represents a shepherd that protects to his flock of sheep from wolves. It wears beard, a hat with vulture feathers and a sheep or fox tail and leather clothes. Members of the brotherhood throw sweets ahead of the procession, and the Zarron has to clear the way of people with a 'zambomba' attached to his stick. (Photo by Jorge
