The Spanish town of Ibi is covered in flour and eggshells during the annual food fight festival ‘Els Enfarinats’.
Every year, participants wear military uniforms and stage a fake coup using eggs, flour, and firecrackers.
Eggmen go around asking locals for “taxes” (donations to charity), which can end up being a big hit if you don’t pay them.
Held in the province of Alicante, this festival has a history of over 200 years and is held every year on December 28 to coincide with the Day of the Innocents, Spain’s equivalent of April Fool’s Day.
