Hiking
The Gigantillos of Burgos are two emblematic papier-mâché figures that parade during the city's main festivals, such as Corpus Christi, Curpillos, San Lesmes, and San Pedro and San Pablo. They represent a traditional Burgos couple: he, wearing a furry hat, a brown cape, and carrying an ash staff (a symbol of authority, possibly a mayor from the mountains); she, with a bun, dressed as a villager, and bejeweled with earrings and a necklace with a cross.
