On Sunday, people in Xinzo de Limia, Spain, took part in “Sunday Fareleiro” or "Floury Sunday." This is the first day of carnival in the village of Xinzo de Limia and it consists of a battle of flour between neighbors and tourists. /VCG Photo

Covered with flour, the ground was so slippery that participants fell on the ground together during the battle. Participants wore skiing goggles and swimming hat to protect them from the attack of flour. / VCG Photo

The battle of flour was not just for men; women participated in the game as well. A man threw a handful of flour at the woman’s head. Clouds of the flour were like smoke in the air. /VCG Photo

With some small “weapons,” the attack can become fiercer. A man took advantage of a little shovel to throw flour against others. /VCG Photo

“Sunday Fareleiro” was a great event to make people escape from the daily pressure and relax. Both neighbors and tourists had great fun participating in the battle. /VCG Photo
