A group of participants called “Txatxus” pose for a photo, during the ancient rural carnival in the small Pyrenees village of Lantz, northern Spain, Sunday, February 7, 2016. A long-standing rural tradition in which the forces of good and evil confront each other in a symbolic battle, during which the thirst for justice stirs up public rage. From Sunday to Tuesday, during carnival week, in the little village of Lantz, the legendarily evil bandit Miel Otxin is imprisoned and sentenced to death by fire.
