Rapa das bestas

The "Rapa das Bestas" is an ancestral rite from Galician (on the NW of Spain), it is believed that the Celts celebrated it, which met in a "Curro", the wild horses and ponies that graze all year by the mountains of the area to disinfect them, domesticated and/or mark them. To do so, the young men used only the force of his arms and legs in a fight with the animal.

This summer I had the opportunity to go to Rapa of A Escusa on the Mount Castrove, between the towns of Meis and Poio, and down to Curro to take snapshots very, very closely. Hope you enjoy them.
