Tips from the community
For half the year (July to January), the Medieval city of La Alberca, Spain is home to a free-ranging pig known as El Marrano de San Antón. Rub the pig’s belly for luck. Year-round, there is a statue of the pig in the church plaza. Childless couples rub the pig’s private parts for fertility.
