SPAIN-CULTURE-FESTIVAL-BAZA-CASCAMORRAS

People covered with black grease celebrate the traditional festivities of the Cascamorras, in Baza, near Granada, on September 6, 2014. Every year on September 6 a villager from Guadix dresses as an oddball character called "Cascamorras" and travels the 3 kilometres to the village of Baza, flanked by a team of representatives, to stage an attempt to recapture the statue of the Virgen de la Piedad. Residents of Baza dirty their faces and wait with coloured water and eggs to pelt the intruders, thus staining the clothes of Cascamorras and ensuring his failure.
