People throw turnips at a man representing the Jarrampla, sporting a costume covered in multicoloured ribbons and his face hidden behind a conical mask with a huge nose, horns and a horse' s mane, in Piorna on January 19, 2017 during the annual San Sebastian festivities The tradition has differing views on its origin with locals claiming that Jarramplas was a cattle thief who villagers got their revenge on by hurling vegetables at him while others say that this holiday is derived from mythology and the punishment that Hercules gave Cacus, meanwhile others acertain that Jarramplas was an imported native American tradition.
