Prepare to get messy during the annual celebration of Cascamorras in Baza, Spain. Each year, tens of thousands of locals and tourists head to Baza to watch as participants cover their bodies in grease and take to the streets to steal the “Virgen de la Piedad” (Our Lady of Mercy) statue — an endeavor achieved more than 500 years ago. The festival’s unique history and local legend draws crowds each year to partake and celebrate with a rowdy street party at the end.
