"Las Fallas de Valencia is the most spectacular, complete fiesta on earth, without a shadow of a doubt! It takes place in March and is intended as a tribute to St. Joseph, Patron Saint of the Carpenters´guild, where (it is said) the tradition arose from. The basis of the fiesta are the 'Fallas' monuments, as is well known. In a display of art, irony and humour they are exhibited in the streets during this week, between the 15th and 19th of March. On the last day at midnight, this monuments are set on fire and burn in immense, spectacularly beautiful pyres."
