Fallas is a vibrant festival celebrated in Valencia, Spain, every March, to welcome spring. It's famous for its huge, intricate statues made from papier-mâché, called "ninots," which are displayed around the city. These artworks are often humorous or satirical, poking fun at public figures or societal issues. The festival is filled with music, fireworks, and parades, culminating in "La Cremà" on March 19th, where all the ninots are set on fire in a spectacular blaze. This burning symbolizes letting go of the past and welcoming new beginnings. Recognized by UNESCO, Fallas is a unique blend of art, tradition, and community celebration.
