450px-danzadores_de_zancos_bajando_la_cuesta_de_los_danzadores_en_anguianoEvery July 22, today, the La Rioja town of Anguiano celebrates La Danza de los Zancos, as the website Typically Spanish pointed out in a recent post.

As you can see by the photo, left, the dancing in the ‘danza’ takes place among men in yellow skirts, on stilts.

I love a fiesta that…

A. Celebrates Mary Magdalene, the more underrated of the two key Marys in the Catholic cannon of sanits, and

B. Requires remarkable physical agility among its celebrants.
