Battle of Wine in Spain
Every year thousands of locals and tourists climb a mountain in the northern Spanish province of La Rioja to celebrate St. Peter’s day, covering each other in red wine while tanker trucks filled with wine distribute the alcoholic beverage to water pistols, back-mounted spraying devices, buckets which are randomly poured on heads and into any other available container. More than 9.000 people threw around 130,000 liters of wine during this year’s Haro Wine Festival, according to local media.

A look at life in one of Europe’s least populated regions
A generation after the last of the sawmills that were its economic lifeblood shut down, a vast region of Central Eastern Spain less than two hours from Madrid has become one of the biggest population deserts in Europe, rivaling parts of the Arctic. For the area’s graying inhabitants — seniors outnumber primary schoolers 4 to 1 — the daily rhythms of work and play have grown more elongated — one boy, the only boy in his village, travels 40 miles to school — or less steady — an unemployed electrician tries his hand at taxidermy to make ends meet — but beat on nonetheless, as Getty Images photographer David Ramos documents in this intimate diary.
Walking the high wire: El Caminito del Rey
“El Caminito del Rey,” a narrow walkway hanging and carved on the steep walls of a mountain in Ardales, Spain, was closed in the mid-1990s after several hikers fell and died. The path, which is one-meter wide and 7.7 km long, will be reopened to the public on March 28, 2015.
