In this photo taken on Nov. 24, 2018, Maria, one of the relatives who comes to help with the slaughter, directs the making of the sausages during the annual pig slaughter near Petra, some 60 kilometres from Palma, the capital of Mallorca, Spain. Beneath wintry gray skies on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, families, friends and neighbors gather for a centuries-old tradition that is not for the faint-hearted: the open-air slaughter of a pig, a custom which due to industrialization has been dying out.
