Last post about Fallas... La Crema

La Crema... The burning of all of the fallas. Yes, all of that hard work put into to creating those huge figures and they are all destroyed. Again... Valencia's obsession with fire! It was pretty cool actually. While we watched different fallas burn, people were shouting "¡Que bonita! ¡Que preciosa!" I don't really find things burning pretty/beautiful, but hey the Valencians looovvee it. I was happy to be a part of fallas, and I really enjoyed it. BUT I am sooooo happy it's over!

There are fireworks (more fireworks-- I have seen more fireworks in one night than I have in my whole life) then the burning starts!

This is the traditional Fallas scarf that people wear during the week. At the Crema you put it over your face to keep from inhaling the smoke.

This is the falla in the main square of Valencia, Plaza de Ayuntamiento. There were crazy fireworks and then the falla just blew up. It was so quick, unlike the first one where the fire started at the bottom. This one was the coolest one to see, since there were explosives inside of it!

This one was about 2 mins away from my dorm. I liked this one a lot! While it was burning it just fell forward and scared everyone lol.
