Attend Fiesta de Cascamorras, Spain
Guadix and Baza are two towns located in Granada, a community in southern Spain. Historically the two are neighbours, sisters, and rivals. Over 500 years ago, a worker from Guadix found a buried image of Virgen de la Piedad. A group from Baza stole the piece before it could be returned to Guadix. A fight broke out and now, after working out their differences, the people of other towns hold a festival each year and get into a paint battle for control of the statue.
The festival that takes place in the towns of Guadix and Baza in the provinceannually on September 6.
In 2006, the festival was declared a "Fiesta of National Tourist Interest of Spain".
