Caretos de Podence,

the Caretos de Podence originate from the village of Podence, in the municipality of Macedo de Cavaleiros. They were declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO on December 12, 2019. As part of the winter festivities characteristic of the Trás-os-Montes region, the Caretos represent diabolical and mysterious images that take to the streets every year during the carnival festivities. They come out hissing their frenetic rattles tightly crossed on the colorful bangs of thick blankets. The younger boys who follow and imitate the caretos are called facanitos and ensure that the tradition continues.
