Crowds throw turnips at the ‘Jarramplas’ during 'brutal but emotional' traditional Spanish festival

In the town of Piornal in Spain, a centuries-old traditional festival has crowds throw turnips at the "Jarramplas," a man dressed in multicoloured garb and a pointy wooden headgear. According to tradition, Jarramplas represents a cattle rustler, but he also embodies evil and beating him symbolises the expulsion of everything bad.
