Falles
Falles is a festival that takes place in the city of Valencia, Spain. The festival is all about having fun and celebrating. In Falles, people build big statues made of wood and paper-mache that are called 'ninots'. These ninots are usually very big and look like famous people or scenes from popular movies or shows.
During the Falles festival, people walk around the city admiring the ninots. There are parades, concerts, and fireworks. People also wear traditional clothing and eat special food like 'paella', which is a yummy dish made of rice, veggies, and chicken or seafood.
At the end of the festival, all of the ninots are set on fire, except for one. The ninot that is saved is the one that is voted to be the best and will be seen at a museum year-round. People around the world come to see Falles because it's a unique and colorful festival that is celebrated only in Valencia.
