A Sidro, a traditional mask of Valdesoto in Asturias, Spain, comes to life during the Mazcaraes d'Iviernu festival. Wielding a long pole, the Sidro uses this symbolic tool to interact with the crowd and drive away evil spirits, embodying the rich folklore and cultural heritage central to the winter celebrations.
