2006 pardoned Falla 'Homage to Vincente Blasco Ibanez', Museu Faller de València, Spain

---

Falles is a festivity celebrating the feast of Saint Joseph held since mid-18th century. Satirical figures called Ninots make up a scene. The figures are set alight to welcome the spring on 19th March. Each year the best Ninot is pardoned and hence not burnt.
