Abstract: In a changing society, such as the current one, with a tendency to eliminate religious symbols from social life, it is surprising to continue to find indicators of traditional religiosity in rural societies. This article refers to a popular religious practice linked to simple but highly expressive religious buildings located in the Polaciones Valley in Cantabria. These are the humilladeros. An ethnographic investigation is presented, with a methodology typical of Social Anthropology, based on field work and the use of ethnographic techniques, such as observation and interviews with key informants.
