Mundakako Aratusteak
Mundaka, Spain
Each carnival, the Basque seaside town of Mundaka takes to the streets in two bands. In the morning the Atorrak march in white with hooded faces, and in the afternoon the Lamiak appear in black with white-painted faces, in a celebration whose costumed ritual is wholly the town's own.
Mundaka’s traditional Carnival centers on the Atorrak (men in white with a pillowcase‑style hood and scarf) who parade and sing through the streets in the morning, and the Lamiak (women in black with white‑painted faces) who take to the streets in the afternoon. The town square and streets fill with music, processions, and local customs.
This celebration benefits from careful observation, local guidance, and respect for community boundaries.
Attendance can be appropriate while active documentation is not. Let local boundaries define your role.
Avoid filming or photographing moments that feel private, sacred, or restricted.
Some celebrations are best approached quietly: arrive prepared, follow posted rules, and leave without turning the moment into content.
