Coca

A giant snake or dragon figure paraded during Corpus Christi festivals. It is a traditional mythological creature, similar to the tarasca beast, used to liven up the festivities. (The Coca is a legendary dragon from Galician and Spanish folklore, typically represented by a large effigy moved by several people).

Yesterday we went downtown to see the procession and the kids got a real fright when the coca appeared around the corner.
