This is the large Falla in the city hall plaza burning down. The pictures are out of order, but it's easy to get the general idea.
It may have felt like a world war, but it definitely didn't look like one.
This is a photo of a small Falla burning. They literally burned them in between buildings and there were always firefighters spraying water on the buildings surrounding the burning art.
A lot of people were dressed up for the event.
Churros and more delicious food was everywhere.
Bella, Sam and I by the tourist Falla. Very fitting.
We saw a very homemade carousel ride.
Isabella, Sam and I in front of one of the Fallas. Around the city, there are hundreds of large Fallas and smaller ones. On the last day (Friday) of Las Fallas, they always burn all of them down but one. It was pretty sad to see such beautiful pieces of art burn down.
This Falla was in the city hall plaza. They burned this one down at 1am after all the others had been burning since 10PM and had a fireworks show. MILLIONS of people were in this plaza to watch the show.
Chris, Bella and I after the Mesclata in the city hall plaza.
This picture is during the mesclata. Very intense. It almost felt like being in a world war, except no one was running, people were drinking, laughing and clapping.
This is another one of the large Fallas.
