Villagers celebrate an Akelarre

Villagers dressed up as wizards and witches hold torches in Zugarramurdi after attending an "Akelarre" (witches' Sabbath) in a nearby cave June 20, 1999. The fiesta, which is celebrated annually since 1983 coinciding with the summer solstice, commemorates the rituals originally performed by witches in the XV century.
