Picaos in San Vicente de la Sonsierra
02 April 2026 - 03 April 2026
It is the only display of penitence featuring flagellation, a common practice in many places until the 18th century. Despite the passing of time and prohibitions, this ritual has been kept alive in the town. Throughout the course, the disciplinantes or penitents, dressed in white robes, whip their own backs with esparto cords for twenty minutes.
