Our lovely neighbour Juan invited us to go for the weekend to see the Fallas in Valencia. These are massive papier mache sculptures, poking fun at politicians and, of course, the Council! They are up to 80 feet high and the dearest one cost €200 000 even with the crisis. Tonight - Monday they burn them down after days of gorgeous processions and music. We were amused at one guy who even complained to us that the council didn't help with the cost of the cheeky sculpures! We had a great time however!!
