Fallas Festival in Valencia

Las Fallas is, without doubt, one of the most unique and crazy festivals in Spain. The Fallas takes place every March in Valencia to celebrate the feast of San José, the patron saint of carpenters. The focus of the fiesta is the creation and destruction of "ninots" (huge cardboard statues made of wood and plaster) that are placed at over 350 key intersections and parks around the city. In fact, in all the town you will see these "ninots" which will be burned at the last day of the festival -March 19th- in a festival of fire, fireworks and organized mayhem.
