Maintaining ?cabeçudos?

An important part of this Carnival is ?cabeçudos?, giant paper dolls, carried by local youngsters, who get paid 25 to 40 EUR a day, depending of doll?s size. A few days before carnival they need to be checked for broken or missing parts. A very busty Madonna is carried back home by a local young man, happy to be chosen to carry the sexiest ?cabeçudo?.
