19. 'Giants':
Dated in1850, they are the oldest figures involved in the Giants and Cabezudos (Big Heads) Parade, which enlivened the mornings for the enjoyment for all the children’s.They have 4.20 meters in height and consist of four pairs formed by a king and a queen who represent America, Africa, Europe and Asia, and dance along the bagpipes and drums rhythm.
20. 'Big-heads':
These characters are more serious than the Giants and Cabezudos Parade and their provenance from the Giants. Stand out for their large heads and because oftheir names: Japanese (male), Japanese (female), Councillor, Grand mother and Mayor. The five figures were bought in 1890.
21. 'Kilikis':
They aret he most sympathetic of the Company of Giant and Big-Heads and children of Pamplona have a very real soft spot for them. Represent the procession of mayors and their mission is to scare and entertain the people. There are six figures in total, which are armed with some kind of balloons foam made and hit and chase the little ones lovingly. All have names: Pigtails, Potato, Barbas (Beard), Warts, Napoleon and Caravinagre (Vinegar Face). The last one is the main character of San Fermin´sposter this year.
22. 'Zaldikos':
In Euskara (Basque Language) means 'horse'. There are six papier-mâché figures carried by young boys dressed in a red and gold suit along the Giants and BigHeads Paraade.
