An intangible heritage that has been the protagonist in RTVE, national TV, which has shared the diversity and beauty of the Leonese antruejos and the mazcaradas across the nation.

Un video realizado con una gran profesionalidad que ilustra de una manera clara y amena las tradicionales fiestas de los antruejos leoneses. Dentro de las opiniones vertidas en e video me parece muy acertada la iniciativa del presidente de la diputación de León de unificar estas tradiciones presentes en muchos pueblos de Europa para crear una identidad propia que les permita un mejor conocimiento y desarrollo. Enhorabuena por vuestra labor etnográfica.
