Gigantes Y Cabezudos

Many latin festivals include costumed figures known as gigantes y cabezudos, roughly, “Giants and Big-Heads”, or, in Catalan, gegants i capgrossos or in basque language "erraldoi eta buruhandiak". The main feature of these figures is typically their papier maché head; bodies are covered in clothing matching the costume's theme.

These figures are particularly common in festivals of Basque Country or Catalonia, where many cities and towns have their own figures.
