So in Valencia, every March they celebrate the Fallas, or the Fires. The whole city explodes daily for 2 weeks with firecrackers in the streets and fireworks at 2pm. They create these gigantic, intricate, colorful, exotic, satiric statues out of wood and plaster and display them in hundreds of major intersections of the city. On March 19, they cut holes in statues and fill them with fireworks. At the stoke of midnight, they set fire to the statues and watch them blow up and burn. You think I'm making this all up? No way! Only in Valencia! And here are Holly's picture to prove it!!!

What an unusual custom. Well at least it's an excuse to have fun. Our fam loves fireworks, we literally blow up money on the 4th of July.
