A woman dances with a five-year-old child on her shoulders during the "Coca" celebration in Redondela in rural northeastern Spain June 18, 2006. The tradition of dancing with daughters on the shoulders takes its origins from a local legend believed to date from the Middle Ages about two women being saved from a dragon by dancing with their daughters on their shoulders. The children are dressed in traditional costumes called "Penlas". (Reuters)
