Los Picaos are public acts of penance of the Christian religion that occur in the town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra in La Rioja (Spain).[1] In Christian processions and Stations of the Cross, members of the Cofradía de la Santa Vera Cruz de San Vicente, a Christian confraternity of penitents, practice self-flagellation of the back by using a discipline as a voluntary act of faith; they are called disciplinantes.
On February 17, 2005, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade of Spain granted the title of Fiesta of National Tourist Interest to be held on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.[2]
