This religious festival with overtones of auto sacramental that takes place in Castrillo de Murcia, is one of the most picturesque festivals in the Burgos calendar, having been celebrated continuously since the beginning of the 20th century. XVII. El Colacho is a burlesque character who represents the devil in an attempt to make Evil triumph over Good. The most spectacular moment takes place at the end of the acts, just when the babies lie on the ground and are blessed to protect them from the evil influence of the Colacho, who takes a run and jumps cleanly over them, subsequently fleeing after having been defeated by the Good.
