The catalan figure of Carassa (Big Face) goes around the streets of Barcelona to bring joy to the smallest ones by “spitting” candies all the way it goes. The big scary face of Carassa is one of the nicest faces to the kids of Barcelona. Originally the figures were put under church organs, and the organists took the candy out of their mouth to throw it to the waiting children. Today the Carassa goes on wheels on the streets around the Cathedral, and spits the sweets out of its mouth – while the children are following it enthusiastically, ready to catch the most they can.
