Image of Minglanilla, not of the place itself.

Winter festival of Minglanilla (La Manchuela Conquense, Cuenca) in honour of San Antón, whose feast day falls on 17 January. The evening before, bonfires are lit in the streets, residents gather to have dinner beside them and, as a tradition unique to the town, they throw flour at one another and set off ground rockets (carretillas), livening up the streets with this peculiar mix of pranks and conviviality.
