Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

The Pueblo Canario in the centre of Las Palmas in northeast Gran Canaria is a charming spot that combines architecture, handicrafts, traditional music, dance and local cuisine. It's central square hosts several displays of folkloric music and dance every week.

Would anyone know how they call the masked figure in the photo and why is he "dressed-up" like this?
