Fires in Valencia

In Valencia the coming of spring is greeted by burning of figures made of papier-maché. The custom is called fallas (pronounced fayas)  and it apparently is pretty fiery. Some of the figures can be seen at any time, because the best are always saved from the flames and sent to the Museo Fallero. This is where these pictures are from.
