Burn the Christmas tree and eat pastries and drink licor coffee and drink til breakfast cooked in the embers. And that's just the warm up.
Blessing and butchering animals in the square in the name of the patron saint of animals was a bit of a headf*** - this isn't 1568 any more but it's how it was and traditions change.
This is a real local occasion, tourists long gone, seeing faces that only come out twice a year!
