Live the Legend of La Sierpe

Every 3rd of May in Jala, there is a celebration of the Magical Town’s most famous story: “The Legend of La Sierpe”. The town is taken over by flowers and music. At night, the burning of La Sierpe takes place. La Sierpe is a strange creature in the form of a seven-headed snake. This ceremony is one of this place’s customs. 

The 8th of September is another opportunity to see the town throw itself into the tradition of burning La Sierpe, a figure made with cardboard that descends the hill, which makes for a spectacle worthy of admiration.
