After 19 days of Fallas festivities in Valencia I can finally go back to work. On Friday was the last day of Fallas and I’m still not really 100% recovered. Was all the pain worth it? Hell yes. Mike’s parents came to Valencia to experience the last 3 days of Fallas ( most intense) and they loved it.
The highlight was the Friday when they burned 3 story high figures (the most expensive one cost 1.3 Million this year and in that night they burned over 700 figurines).
Watch how this:

ending up with this:
Watch the incredible Video of burning down: La Cremà 2010 and tons of more pictures.
Also incredible was the Cabalgata del Fuego (Fire Parade), it was breathtaking:
