The Fiesta de Cascamorras is an annual celebration held in the towns of Baza and Guadix, in the Granada region of Spain, and dates back over 500 years. This unique festival features a dramatic and playful race between two groups, where participants dressed as Cascamorras (characters covered in black paint) attempt to reach a statue of the Virgin Mary in the town of Baza without being touched by the locals. The festival is known for its lively crowds, street festivities, and the playful chaos that unfolds during the chase. The Fiesta de Cascamorras is a celebration of local tradition, heritage, and community spirit, blending both religious and secular elements in a fun, memorable event.
