People covered in black grease take part in the traditional festival of the Cascamorras, in Baza, Spain, on Sept. 6, 2024. Every Sept. 6, a villager from Guadix, performing the “Cascamorras” character, walks three kilometres to the village of Baza to stage an attempt to recapture a statue of the Pieta virgin before returning to Guadix. Three days later, he would be punished by locals for his failure. Jorge Guerrero/AFP via Getty Images
