Gigantes y Cabezudos

Gigantes y Cabezudos are traditional Spanish parade figures featuring large, impressive puppets called "Gigantes" (giants) and smaller characters known as "Cabezudos" (bigheads). The giants, often representing historical or mythical figures, are tall, elaborately dressed puppets manipulated by performers, creating a lively visual spectacle. Cabezudos are character figures with oversized heads, designed to entertain and interact with crowds, sometimes playfully teasing spectators. These figures are central to many festivals across Spain, symbolizing cultural heritage and community spirit, and are accompanied by music, dance, and celebration as part of traditional festivities.
