## Culture

The village is known for the local *Quema de Judas* ([Burning of Judas](/source/Burning_of_Judas) in [English](/source/English_language)) holiday taking place on [Sunday of Resurrection](/source/Easter). Every year, the town denizens parade, shoot and burn a rag doll representing a figure deemed "despicable" by the locals.[2][3]

Past examples include convicted and incarcerated embezzlers [Rodrigo Rato](/source/Rodrigo_Rato) and [Iñaki Urdangarín](/source/I%C3%B1aki_Urdangar%C3%ADn), celebrities romantically linked to the Royal House such as [Bárbara Rey](/source/B%C3%A1rbara_Rey) and [Eva Sannum](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eva_Sannum&action=edit&redlink=1),[3] and murderers such as [Ana Julia Quezada](/source/Murder_of_Gabriel_Cruz)[4] or [Miguel Carcaño](/source/Murder_of_Marta_del_Castillo).[5][3]

The April 2019 Judas burning ritual featured a dummy representing former [Catalan President](/source/President_of_the_Government_of_Catalonia) [Carles Puigdemont](/source/Carles_Puigdemont); this choice, in the current volatile political climate and in the wake of the [2017–18 Spanish constitutional crisis](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Spanish_constitutional_crisis), brought the town to the spotlight in a highly controversial manner.[6][7][8] This controversy compounded earlier ones, particularly after complaints from several organizations such as *Movimiento contra la Intolerancia* (Movement against Intolerance) which claimed that these holidays could be considered as "[hate crimes](/source/Hate_crimes)".[5]
