A Zarron seen during the festival in Almazan. El Zarron of Almazan Festival is a shepherd’s tradition just over 200 hundred years old that honours Saint Pascual Bailon. On its origins shepherds founded a Saint Pascual Bailon brotherhood and started parading a figure representing their Saint around the village. El Zarron is a character that represents the shepherds and 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 young people with a 'zambomba' attached
