Townswomen dressed as Lamia, with the faces whitened and eyes darkened, sing and dance in the Basque coastal town of Mundaka on Carnival Sunday, February 15, 2015. The Lamia are Basque mythological creatures whose lower extremities are those of a duck or fish depending on their proximity to the sea, and whose favored activity is combing their long blonde hair with a golden comb.
