Boy trying to reach the flag on the tip of a pole, in the summer festivity of Seville, La Velá de Triana..
Summary[edit]
| Description |
Español: En la festividad de verano La Velá, celebrada en Sevilla (España) durante el mes de Julio en el barrio de Triana, se organiza La Cucaña, un concurso consistente en alcanzar una bandera atada en la punta de un poste instalado en un barco en el río Gualdalquivir. El poste se embadurna previamente en brea o alguna otra sustancia que lo hace resbaladizo, haciendo que el éxito en alcanzar la bandera sea más difícil. Quien consiga capturar la bandera obtiene un premio, ya sea en dinero o en productos gastronómicos de la región, como por ejemplo una pata de jamón serrano. Si la bandera es capturada, se repone con otra hasta que se agoten los premios. Generalmente son los chicos jóvenes del barrio quienes nadan hasta el barco para participar en el concurso.
English: In the summer festival La Velá, celebrated in Seville (Spain) during the month of July in the neighborhood of Triana, La Cucaña is organized, a contest consisting of reaching a flag tied to the tip of a pole installed on a boat in the Gualdalquivir River. The pole is previously smeared with tar or some other substance that makes it slippery, making success in reaching the flag more difficult. Whoever manages to capture the flag gets a prize, either in money or in gastronomic products from the region, such as a leg of Serrano ham. If the flag is captured, it is replaced with another until the prizes run out. Generally it is the young boys of the neighborhood who swim to the boat to participate in the contest.
