Giants and big heads of Tolosa
The giants and big-heads of Tolosa are a symbol of festivals and the town´s culture.
Many people visit the town to enjoy the dances of the giants, and get a little “scared” fleeing from the blows of the big-heads (carnival figures with enormous heads). I must say that the dances of the giants are really impressive, you cannot miss out on them!!
Which characters are there? Each character has its origins, some are historical and others come from carnivals.
