The story behind it
In Cantabria, a 'pasá' (passage) often refers to moving livestock between pastures or to market. Carmona’s Pasada likely stems from historic cattle drives. It reinforces local identity in mountain agriculture; villagers of all ages participate in procession and after-party celebrations in the town square, reflecting solidarity among farming families.
