On his back he wears an esparto doormat to withstand the tapping of the three cowbells he wears on a leather belt. It has a hood, also made of white sheet fabric, with holes for the eyes and nose. His head is covered with a conical hat or caperuz lined with green silk fabric; all of it is covered with colored silk ribbons and topped in a floral tuft. In their hands they carry an orange in one and a wicker stick in the other.
The orange is used to tempt young children to come closer, so the Zarramaches can hit them with their wicker stick. The orange is then given to as compensation if they begin to cry.
Children hang around every street corner waiting for the running of the Zarramaches. In attempt to show their manhood, the kids attempt to sneak up on the Zarramaches and jingle their bells or steal their stick, then run away before they get beaten.
