Beautiful, and an interesting history, too.

Between the giant puppets and their obsession with fire, I love and always will love the Spanish.

Fallas is such a weird combination of age old traditions, very modern and risque social and political commentary and grandmas and small children armed with small scale artillery shells they set off every day at lunch time. It's really very fun.

Also there are male falleros!
