People from Solsona (Central Catalonia) celebrating Carnival.
In this city, one of the main traditions for the Carnival festivity is the silly version of giants and "big-heads". In other Catalan festivities like festa major and Corpus, there are elegant giants and silly "big-head" figures that dance on the streets. Following the spirit of Carnival, which is to make fun of everything, the giants and "big-heads" that dance for Carnival are made to be caricaturesque.

A devil chilling in Sabadell (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit, Catalonia).
This man is taking part in the traditional Catalan dance called ball de diables (meaning “Devils’ dance” in Catalan). You can see it in the characteristic clothes he’s wearing and the maze with firecrackers he’s holding.
The “devils” are any local people who want to join the dance (never professional dancers, just people who want to have fun). These “devils” jump and dance to the sound of drums while throwing fire. I guess this one got tired!
