What is a Falla [for Beginners]

A FALLA is a huge monument made with beautiful statues of "hardpaper" which is built through a whole year and burnt in some minutes in Saint Joseph's day. Those fallas are EVERYWHERE, in nearly every three streets all over the Valencia region. To know more about what FALLAS... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falles

YOU COULD THINK IT'S STUPID, MAYBE IT IS!! BUT IT'S ALSO A REALLY TOUCHING EXPERIENCE EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL AT LEAST ONCE.

In the pics you can see a falla before being burnt, another one burning, the lighting of the Falla that always gains the lighting prize in the city of Valencia and a Virgin Mary built up with looots of branches of flowers.
