Good and evil in Spain

In this April 1, 2017 picture (above), a man wears the traditional ‘Tora’ outfit used during the carnival while posing for a picture during a gathering of different villages’ carnival masks and characters in the small village of Casavieja, Spain, Monday, April 3, 2017. These festivals, held across central and northwestern Spain, most often coincide with festivities celebrating the advent of spring, mixing Carnival and bizarre pagan-like rituals with mock battles between good and evil.
