statues.The crowds start to chant, the streetlights are
turned off, and all of the ninots are set on fire at
exactly 12am (midnight). (Local firemen have devised
very clever ways to keep buildings and people safe.)
The origin of las Fallas is a bit murky, but most credit
the fires as an evolution of pagan rituals that
celebrated the onset of spring. $999 land per ten day
