Outing of Jarramplas in Piornal - Spain

Several people during the departure of Jarramplas, on 19 January 2026, in Piornal, Cáceres, Extremadura (Spain). Jarramplas is a festival of national tourist interest, in which two eponymous characters make a route through the streets of Piornal playing a tambourine, at the same time as the locals throw vegetables at them as a punishment, because in the past Jarramplas was seen as a cattle thief.

Iraqi Deminer Loses Legs Clearing Mines - Iraq

Hoshyar Ali sits in his room, now a museum filled with deactivated explosives and awards, with his two prosthetic legs beside him, in Halabja, Iraq, on November 20, 2025. He has been clearing landmines for over four decades, a task he began after the Iran-Iraq war when thousands of mines were planted along the border. Despite losing both legs and several family members to explosions, he continues to volunteer in mine removal. Locals call him “man of the mines,” and he is building a museum in his village to display defused explosives for future generations. Photo by Showan Sulaiman/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Beyond the picturesque Longji Rice Terraces lies Dazhai Village, flanked by lush greenery, towering mountains, and a diverse array of homestays. Named among the Best Tourism Villages of 2022 by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) for its breathtaking agricultural view, this village also takes pride in its robust homestay facilities that have annually brought more than 500,000 yuan (about 68,854 U.S. dollars) to over 60 percent of local households. The flourishing homestay service in the village grew out of household-run catering and recreation services that started to burgeon since the first highway reached the village two decades ago. Homestay service has not only created jobs for locals but also facilitated the development of tourism-related businesses in surrounding areas. Photo by Xinhua/A
