A thousand and a bit years ago, Spain had a ding-dong between the Moors and the Christians. These days it might be called 'ethnic cleansing' as the Christians sent the Moors packing back to Africa.
Now, we have a fiesta to commemorate the event - and everyone enjoys themselves!
Groups of men and women parade up and down the High Street dressed in their particular persuasion. Then they shout at each other, have a mock battle and get even more pissed!
Viva España!
