In the miniscule town square of a small town in Galicia (Laza), a battle of mud-soaked rags is celebrated during the five days duration of the oldest Carnival in Europe - "O Entroido". What started in former times as mischievious play has turned into a battle where adernelin and diversion are the main ingredients, on a morning filled with water and mud. Totally uninhibited revelry of “two-legged wolves” to the extent that it is said: O Entroido is like Las Vegas, what happens here, remains here.
