Ninots

Ninots are baby fallas. Every year tons of them are made and then set up in an exhibit. People come and vote on their favorite, and whichever one has the most votes will be added the Fallas Museum that consists of ninots from previous years. The rest of the ninots will be burned on the beach on March 19th with the big fallas. OH yes I forgot to mention- all of that time and hard work put into building ninots and fallas is all destroyed by fire on the last day. "Fallas" means "fire", and the huge burning of the fallas is a part of the festival of fire. Back to the Ninots. We went to the exhibit, and each one expresses how they are against a tax increase that is on the verge of being passed. They are satirical and some are kind of risqué.
