A Kiliki prepares to hit children during San Fermin festival’s ‘comparsa de gigantes y cabezudos,’ or parade of giants and big heads, in Pamplona, northern Spain, Wednesday. ‘Kilikis,’ wearing oversized masks as they playfully hit bystanders with sponges on sticks, parade daily through the city accompanied by brass bands during the nine-day-long festival popularized internationally by U.S. writer Ernest Hemingway in his novel, The Sun Also Rises. |
