Hi UMD members who like messy black oil,
it is overdue to review the 2015 Cascamorras festival in Spain.
Here is my explanation about the background, known from 2012:

Located in the towns of Guadix and Baza, Spain, Cascamorras is a party taking place every year around Sep 6th to celebrate the legend of a controversy about a stolen statue in the medieval times. People cover themselves in black or brown oil and paint to catch the Cascamorras player; the goal is stain his outfit before he reaches the other town, while he is fleeing the dirty crowd. Very dirrrty!

These are the best pictures I found of the 2015 event:

These pictures don't preview here unfortunately, so these need to be opened one-by-one. I already filtered out the garbage:
