This postcard features one of the most famous
sculptures in Xinzo de Limia, the Monument to the Pantalla. Xinzo de Limia is a
village 40 kilometres from Ourense and famous for its Carnival (Entroido),
which is celebrated in February. Carnival festivities include masked balls,
parades, music performances, flour fights and markets with typically Galician
products.

The
"pantalla" is Xinzo's traditional disguise, a fancy dress composed of
a mask with horns, white clothes with a red cape and cowbells around the waist.
