Revellers from the Portuguese village of Podence dressed in a traditional costume during annual Carnival festivities on February 25, 2020 in Macedo de Cavaleiros, Portugal. Revellers, known as 'Caretos' wear brass or wooden masks and dressed up in costumes made of dyed wool and with cowbells in their belts. Revellers shout and chase people in the streets to scare them, with single women being their main target. Once they corner someone, they bang their cowbells against the person. Caretos of Podence declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The decision was announced at the General Assembly of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, in Bogota, Colombia on December 12, 2019.
