One of 100s of giant "Fallas" burnt last night as part of the annual festival in Valencia. Each neighbourhood spends the year making its own gruesome design, which (from what I gathered) is supposed to symbolise a cathartic burning of what's wrong with the world and society. Many, like this one, finished up more or less as 10 metre high three-dimensional political cartoons. As well as these aritstocrats; the Real Madrid football team, Spanish television companies, and the Prime Minister (driving a sleigh of unemployment!), are just out of shot.
