Amazing Spanish traditions

Corpus Christi is a popular festivity celebrated in villages all over Spain. One of the most amazing ways of celebrating this day is the procession of the men of moss (hombres de musgo in Spanish), where a group of men and women walk the streets covered from head to toes with moss. The moss oufits are really heavy and warm so bearing them during the 4 hours of the parade is quite a challenge.
This particular Spanish custom takes place in Béjar, a village of the region of Salamanca.

Yes, wearing the moss outfits continuously for 4 hours is really a tough task. By the way a very different experience to me.

Thanks
