✋🏿CASCAMORRAS🤚🏿

Cascamorras is a traditional festival of the towns of Baza and Guadix (Andalusia, Spain). Every year, Guadix chooses a man to be the Cascamorras and sends him to Baza to try to take the Virgin of La Piedad, which he can only do if he arrives clean at the church where the Virgin. That's why, in Baza, they wait for Cascamorras with barrels of oily black paint, where everyone gets dirty to paint Cascamorras.

El Cascamorras es una fiesta tradicional de los pueblos de Baza y Guadix (Andalucía, España). Cada año, Guadix elige a un hombre para ser el Cascamorras y lo envía a Baza para intentar llevarse a la Virgen de la Piedad, lo cual solo puede lograr si llega limpio a la iglesia donde se encuentra la Virgen. Por eso, en Baza, esperan al Cascamorras con barriles de pintura negra aceitosa, donde todos se ensucian para pintarlo.
