First released in 1989, the book remains the most powerful photographic account ever made of rural Spain—its ecstatic rituals, sacred choreographies, and bodies caught in acts of collective trance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1277\"\u003eGarcía Rodero spent over 15 years photographing festivals, pilgrimages, and popular ceremonies across the Spanish countryside between 1973 and 1988, capturing scenes that veer between the Catholic, the pagan, and the surreal. What results is not a nostalgic ethnography but a fierce visual anthropology of belief, suffering, and joy. The images are precise, direct, often overwhelming. They do not explain Spain—they convulse with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003eThis 2025 edition restores the original sequencing while expanding the selection and correcting past omissions, now produced to the highest standards by García Rodero herself.
