  1. The APALPADOR is a man of blond beard, an old and big man, he lives in the forests of the bigs mountains doing coal during all the year, for to remove the cold of de winter. In your free time he makes littles toys with wood, stone, cardboard….He is respectfull wit the environment.
    The Apalpador visit the houses of the children at 24th or 31th december in the night, he touches the belly at the children for to see whether it´s filled, and so he leaves some chestnuts for the hungry. He leaves the littles and handicrafts toys too.

  2. Oh, that´s very interesting Ana!
    At Christmas,the most popular traditions in Madrid (where I´m from) are: Taking the grapes at "Pueta del Sol" on 31th December night, you know; and to eat "Roscon de Reyes" with chocolate on 6th January. But I didn´t know nothing similar to that traditional character: the "Apalpador".
