A suitcase of memories, time after time: 28th day in Spain, What is it?

Weather forecast: 9ºC Max, 2ºC Min, no wind, sunny without clouds

Hi to everybody! Nice to write again a few words on this blog.

First, I would like to say you Happy Christmas and have a nice eve on 31th December. It is true that it sounds odd the way I say it.

Well, today I would write about a Spanish Tradition. However, it isn´t a holiday. 28th December is the day of "El día de los Santos Inocentes". A day where anybody can make jokes with the people. In a certain way is very similar to the Fool´s day on 1st April in UK.

Wow, It is curious because the British use the word "fool" and the Spaniards "innocent".

Furthermore, in that day there is an specific tradition in a little village of Valencia´s Region, I guess. In that village (Ibis), some strange guys called "els farinats" give out the power from politics and they can govern until the Dawn. So, they made non-sense laws, for example, it is forbidden to stay on the street, to have shops opened or closed and so on. However, everybody that doesn´t follow their rules will be punished to have on their body a mixture made of flour and eggs.
Moreover, there is a weird battle where weapons are flour, eggs and fireworks.

I don´t know very well because, as you imagine, Spain has a lot of traditions according to which Region.

Have a good time!
