La
Endiablada (2 - 3 February), Almonacid del Marquesado (Cuenca) - At
the start of the two-day-long "Fiesta of the Bewitched", men
and boys, gaudily dressed as "devils", with cowbells strapped
to their backs, gather in the house of their leader, the Diablo Mayor.
They accompany the images of the Virgen de la Candelaria (Virgin of Candlemas)
and St Blaise in procession. As the devils dance along side the floats
bearing the saints' images, they ring their bells loudly and incessantly.
Romeria del Cristo del Sahuco (Pentecost, May/June), Penas de San Pedro (Albacete) - A cross-shaped coffin bearing a figure of Christ is carried 15 km here from its shrine by men dressed in white.
