Els Enfarinats

WHERE: Ibi, Spain
WHEN: 28 December 2023

Eggs and flour are the main ingredients of one of the most incredible, and weird, events in Spain: Els Enfarinats.

A celebration that has been going on for almost 2 centuries, on December 28 (Day of Innocence) in the small Spanish village of Ibi, not far from beautiful Alicante.

Nothing to do, however, with Christmas and Gastronomy. Taking a cue from an event
Biblical, the streets of Ibi will be invaded by soldiers armed with eggs and flour ready to strike anyone who gets in their way.

And if the warriors are only figurants, eggs and flour are real. Arm yourself with a helmet and shield if you don’t want to be floured!
In any case, as absurd as it may seem, the party is truly engaging. In a short time you will find yourself wrapped in clouds of flour and you will try to dodge the eggs and firecrackers in every way.
