The fiesta features a playful tug of war between the towns to grab a hold on the scuulpture of Virgin. This age-old anecdote has bessed the folks with a merry-making excuse to get themselves sleazily blackened. The party persits for a span of three days starting from September 6th. Folks of Guadix disguise themselves in black grease imitating the protagonist ‘Cascamorras’ and head towards the 3-km-away ‘baza’. All the endeavours are put forward by the Guadix people to recapture the statue and traverse back to Guadix on third day. Bazi folks charge the Guadix residents with penalties on failure.
