Virgen Maria

With all of the drinking, partying, fire, and basically the destruction of the city, it was easy to forget that this celebration is actually about a Saint. There's a huge Virgin Mary that's made of wood, then covered with flowers! It takes a full day to put all of the flowers on the Virgin. The falleras give the flower offerings.






The food of fallas. Churros with cholocate and bunuelos with sugar and sometimes white chocolate. They're kind of like donuts, but less flavor (hence the chocolate and sugar). 



Here's me trying a white chocolate covered bunuelo-- see my excitement. lol


Here's an example of one of the many bars that are all around the city.
