Fallas Festival in Valencia:

It's spring! Burn baby burn!
"A "ninot" sculpture burns during the last day of the "Fallas" festival in Valencia on March 19, 2008. The Fallas festival is a week of fireworks and bonfires. The "Fallas" are huge papier mache caricatures of famous national and international characters. They are built throughout the year before being displayed in the city squares for five days and then on March 19, the night of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, they are burnt."
