Revellers take part in the annual Cascamorras festival in Baza, southern Spain. The festival was inspired by a dispute between the town of Baza and Guadix over the possession of an icon of the Virgin of Piedad. It refers to representatives from Guadix, who were sent to Baza to recover the statue. As the Cascamorras had to stay perfectly clean to gain possession, Baza residents attempt to make them as ‘dirty’ as possible. (Jon Nazca / REUTERS) expand-iconView Photos in a new improved layout
