There is usually a satirical nature to these puppets, though not always.The burning of these puppets is of course accompanied with plenty of street parties throughout the city.Not all the puppets get burned. There is a public vote to decide on the very best puppets for this year. These are taken to the Museo Fallero, Valencia's Fallas museum.                                              ]]> 2018-03-16 10:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242739500 leire_lelu https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242743065 Las Fallas is a five-day event leading up to Saint Joseph's Day (19 March)    ]]> 2018-03-16 10:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242743065 leire_lelu https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242743353 Fallas takes place in Valencia, on the Costa Blanca.]]> 2018-03-16 10:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242743353 leire_lelu https://padlet.com/leire_lelu/gw71115rcub4/wish/242744954
