Ahh Baby Jumping of course! why not? This grand old sport of Spain dates back to 1620 and takes place annually to celebrate the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi in the village of Castrillo de Murcia. During the act - known as El Salto del Colacho (the devil’s jump) – men dressed as the Devil jump over babies born during the previous twelve months of the year who lie on mattresses in the street.
