Sunday Share | "Las Fallas"

One of Valencia's most colorful festivals is Las Fallas. For days, locals celebrate while erecting elaborate fallas-complex cardboard and paper-maché structures bearing handmade figurines called ninots--which climb high into the Spanish skies. The fiesta ends in a blazing finale when these unique works of art are symbolically burst into flames and everything that is bad is reborn from the ashes for the new season.
