Home » Cetina's Contradanza
The Devil and his troop of skeletons
Date: During the feast day of St. Juan Lorenzo, from 18 to 21 May.
An extremely original dance with Celtic music –the only one in Aragon- which commemorates the death of the Saint. It is a masked dance from pre-Christian times which preserves remains of old farming rites. The jumps of the dancers are spectacular, who wear black cloting with white paint resembling a skeleton, except for the devil who wears red. This takes place at night under torch light, creating a shocking atmosphere.
Information: Town Council, 976 84 40 95
