So... The Fallas.... well its like a Valencian tradition... where they make these paper-mush stuff and then burn it .... yes it may seem like a stupid thing to do as what they burn usually costs a ton to make... the most expensive one that they made this year was like 900,000 Euros... so ... like I said lots of money just to burn... enough introductions here are the pics...
So this was the closest one to our home... its by the metro stop.


So while we where waiting for the firemen to come so that we could watch the stuff burn in a flame of glory we went ahead to the entertainment spot where they had a band playing and we started to rock out .... um ... yeah twas the kind of dancing that turned many heads... yes we did look crazy.

Yes, this is the band we "rocked" out to..... or something like that.

Yes, we all had our moment of glory...

Oh yeah I almost forgot... there are like the "Special" women that are called Fallas... yeah they dress kinda special and they all look a bit like princes leiya ... all version ... old, chuby, young... ugly ... less ugly.... unbeliveably.... erm .. yeah here are some ....


So yeah ... after them women go around and parade that place they light the papermush and fireworks.....
