Strange Festivals in Spain

The Spanish have a lot of strange festivals. There's the really famous ones, such as the Pamplona Running of the Bulls or the Tomatina Tomato Fight. But there are some less well-known odd events too. Take the News Year's Eve celebration in August, for example. Or the jumping-over-babies-dressed-as-a-devil ritual that is supposedly intended as a blessing for the child (assuming you don't fall on the poor little ones).

One recurring theme in a lot of strange Spanish festivals is that they often center around throwing things at each other. Take a look at this list of odd festivals where the object is to pelt your neighbours with something messy: Throwing Festivals in Spain
