There are some animals that store food for the winter.

During the autumn it's traditional the celebration of the MAGOSTO in the Bierzo.
We eat roasted chestnuts and they are delicious. They are roasted over open fires or  inside a drum in constant movement so that the chestnuts  do not burn.
We take a little ash and we paint our faces. It's very funny.

People celebrate Spring. Children are dancing around the Maypole. It's fun.

In the woods there grew a tree

A fine, fine tree was he

On that tree there was a limb
And on that limb there was a branch
On that branch there was a nest
And in that nest there was an egg
In that egg there was a bird
And from that bird a feather came
Of that feather was a bed

On that bed there was a girl
And on that girl there was a man
From that man there was a seed
And from that seed there was a boy
From that boy there was a man
And for that man there was a grave
From that grave there grew a tree
