No festival in Spain is complete wi

No festival in Spain is complete without a bizarre tradition like throwing tomatoes or running in front of bulls or jumping over babies. The annual festival of Els Enfarinats is celebrated with flour and egg fights. Els Enfarinats takes place in the town of Ibi in Alicante, Spain on December 28 as part of celebrations related to the Day of the Innocents. In the day long festival, participants dressed in mock military dress stage a mock coup pretending to take over the town. Dressed in a slovenly manner, they enter banks and shops stirring up trouble in a good-humoured way, imposing fines on shopkeepers and bankers, mocking local dignitaries and reading humorous speeches. Those who oppose are assaulted with flour cakes and eggs.
