End of Century Old Indemnity Rite Nears End
Pleasant old custom in the Barretons valley near the Canfranc tunnel has long required France to pay Spain in cattle as compensation for cattle that grazed on foreign land. Every thirteenth day for six centuries three heifers were sent to Spain, followed by a ritual spear cast and rifle shot, then feasting with snails and wine.
