The ‘manteo del pelele’ is one of the most deep-rooted traditions of the Madrid carnival season. This fun activity, suitable for all, is to be livened up by pipe music played by the Arrabel Cultural Association.
As Goya immortalised in one of his popular paintings, El manteo del pelele, a dummy representing someone who has deserved to be tossed in a blanket all year long, will be tossed in a blanket whilst those people present sing mocking songs.
