What are the Fallas in Spain?

Fallas happens every year in March in the Valencia region. The whole city is transformed into a large exposition of “Fallas” which stands for immense temporary statues. The word “Fallas” is also closely related the fire. During the celebration, every day you can hear the "Mascleta", thousand of firecrackers tied together explode in Dantesque noise just for the fun of feeling such beat, Fire is what closes the "Fallas", as all the statues will be burned to the ground and only one - publicly elected - will be saved.
