- Description
- The Cascamorras tradition features an inoffensive battle of paint between the Cascamorras character and the inhabitants of Baza and Guadix. This festival originates from the Middle Ages, with the appearance of the image of the Virgin of Mercy, which made enemies of both towns. The Cascamorras, a clown dressed in a striking costume, attempts to carry away the statue of the Virgin of Mercy from Guadix to Baza, but the residents of Baza thwart him by painting him and entertaining him in lively runs through the town streets.
