La cuca\u00f1a o palo ensebado es una tradici\u00f3n muy extendida entre las localidades de Espa\u00f1a, especialmente las costeras. Se suele dar en las fiestas patronales, en el caso de Punta Umbr\u00eda en las fiestas de la virgen del Carmen, patrona de los marineros.<\/p>\n
Consiste en un palo o m\u00e1stil resbaladizo dispuesto al borde de la cubierta de un barco o de un puerto. Los participantes intentar\u00edan atrapar el objetivo que est\u00e1 en la punta. En este caso es una bandera pero en otras localidades pueden ser otros premios como alimentos. En los pueblos sin tradici\u00f3n marinera el palo se coloca en vertical en alg\u00fan lugar p\u00fablico.<\/p>\n
El origen de esta tradici\u00f3n se cree que est\u00e1 en N\u00e1poles, entorno a los siglos XV y XVI. En las plazas se hac\u00eda una monta\u00f1a artificial la cual simbolizaba el Vesubio. En la cima hab\u00eda un agujero por el empezar\u00edan a sacar alimentos como salchichones, salchichas, pastas y quesos y la gente ten\u00eda que escalar hasta ah\u00ed para cogerlos. Con el tiempo, la monta\u00f1a habr\u00eda sido sustituida por un poste vertical en donde se colgar\u00edan los alimentos en la parte m\u00e1s alta. Para a\u00f1adir dificultad y aumentar el entretenimiento de los que observaban el poste se comenzar\u00eda a ensebar. Esto luego derivar\u00eda a la versi\u00f3n mar\u00edtima, ya que el agua amortiguar\u00eda la ca\u00edda.<\/p>\n
Dado que es una tradici\u00f3n frecuente en las localidades que tienen alguna conexi\u00f3n con la vida mar\u00edtima, una hip\u00f3tesis que se podr\u00eda plantear es que se difundi\u00f3 por los contactos comerciales entre los puertos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2386,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tipo-de-proyecto":[52],"class_list":["post-2385","proyecto","type-proyecto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo-de-proyecto-cultura-y-vida-cotidiana"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto\/2385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyecto"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto\/2385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389,"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto\/2385\/revisions\/2389"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-de-proyecto","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uhu.es\/vistoynovisto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-de-proyecto?post=2385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
