Gegants i capgrossos - giants and big heads. In Spanish and Catalan festivals you can often see 'gegants i capgrossos' (Catalan) or 'gigantes y cabezudos' (Spanish) which means 'giants and big heads.' Gegants and Capgrossos are papier-maché figures. The gegants are carried by 'geganters' which means 'giant-carrier.' The giants are hollow papier-maché figures usually three or four metres meters tall that show the upper part of the figure and have a skirt covering the lower part.
