The church at La Alberca.
:01:15
Two skulls in their niches symbolise the town's destiny.
:01:24
Most homes have three storeys.
:01:28
This is rare in Spain and gives the streets a medieval aspect.
:01:33
Many homes have a religious text over the door:
:01:40
"Ave Maria, conceived without sin."

The day we arrived, the women were dressed in their finery.
:01:51
Why were they dressed so beautifully?
:01:55
They said they were going to the plaza...
:01:58
...for an annual ceremony that's strange and barbaric.
:02:01
Newly wedded men gather.
:02:04
Each must take up the head of a rooster.
:02:11
A rope extends across the street.
:02:13
On it hangs a rooster tied by the legs.
:02:16
The men gallop by and try to catch a head.
:02:31
After parading in triumph with the heads...
:02:34
...the grooms offer everyone wine.
:02:52
It's a time for enjoyment.
