Vitoria-Gasteiz - Fiesta de la Virgen Blanca

Every year in August the culminating ceremony of the Fiesta de la Virgen Blanca takes place in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, when a figure holding an umbrella sails over the heads of the spectators on a rope stretched diagonally across the square from the tower of the church of San Miguel and everyone is then supposed to light a cigar.
