the Middle Ages, the Arabs in their conquests on the Iberian Peninsula reached Navalvillar de Pela, with the clear intention of invading the village.
LA ENCAMISA•
To impress the invading forces, numerous large fires lit using the darkness of the night and galloped swiftly on horseback carrying torches thundering drums, bells and chimes hanging around the narrow streets of the town forming a scandal.
LA ENCAMISA• The riders had to impress
and to do that, they donned pointy hats to resemble giants, and to have more lightly, they dressed with large white shirts. The Moorish army, seeing such uproar, fled in terror thinking that it was a large army and ghostly.
