Valdesoto Sidros Festival: Ancient Masks & Satirical Theatre
Experience one of Asturias' most extraordinary winter traditions where mysterious masked figures in spectacular sheepskin hoods leap through village streets, ringing bells and spreading ancient mountain magic. Every January in tiny Valdesoto, the Sidros perform alongside wickedly funny satirical comedies that spare no one - from local politicians to national figures - in performances so audacious they'll leave you gasping and laughing. This remarkable blend of primitive ritual and sharp social commentary represents the beating heart of Asturian community spirit, where tradition evolves while honoring its deepest roots.
