    • The Diablada de Píllaro is a popular celebration that


    has grown in the last decade.

    themselves as devils in repudiation of the priestly preaching
    and physical, psychological, economic and moral abuse they
    received from the Spaniards

    personality of the hated and discriminated
    character with whom, due to their situation at that
    time, they felt identified. At present, the
    personification of the devil has become a show of
    ingenuity and charisma for each participant.
