Abstract

We propose an approach to the festive phenomenon in Oviedo in the early 16th century. We review the most representative ceremonies, their origin and characteristics, the ludic manifestations derived from them -dances, games, bullfights, processions- and the economic impact of these joys in local finances, selecting the most solemn examples and those with greatest symbolism for the local community.
