Spaniards hurl flour, eggs and fireworks in mock battle

Advertisements

The annual food fight festival ”Els Enfarinats” has left the Spanish town of Ibi covered in flour and egg shells.

Every year participants wear military-style costumes and stage a fake coup using eggs, flour and firecrackers.

The eggers go around asking for “taxes” – donations to charity – from local people and if you don’t pay you could end up getting splatted.

The festival, held in the province of Alicante, is more than 200 years old and takes place on the 28 December each year to coincide with the Day of the Innocents – Spain’s equivalent of April Fools’ Day.
