Thousands of Sheep Take Over Madrid’s Streets

Thousands of sheep and goats flooded Madrid's streets for the annual Transhumance Festival, an event celebrating the region's ancient pastoral heritage and the environmental benefits of traditional grazing. This year's livestock drive took a detour around the city's central Puerta del Sol to avoid a housing protest camp established following public outrage over the recent eviction and death of an 87-year-old resident. Accompanied by the sound of bells and bleats, the procession drew large crowds of locals and tourists while highlighting how livestock help clear flammable undergrowth to prevent wildfires. #spain #sheep #festival The New York P (Source: New York Post | Region: New York, USA)
