Spanish baby-jumping festival in Castrillo de Murcia


Every year the small Spanish town of Castrillo de Murcia holds the El Colacho festival, where a man dressed as the devil jumps over babies to cleanse them from evil spirits.
Spain has many unusual festivals throughout the year, but this is possibly one of the strangest.
This year the event was held on June 10, with over 200 locals participated in the festival in the small medieval town of Castrillo de Murcia near Burgos, northern Spain. 

The festival dates back to 1621... read more and view videos of the event.
