Fiesta weekend in Spain (1 Viewer)

[bobandjanie]

It's going to be busy for the next few days because not only is it Saint Patrick's day, its Dia De Sant Jose (spanish fathers day)
On Tuesday and all the shops are closed , the schools are closed Monday so the Spanish are going to be out in force.

In Denia it's the last weekend of Cartell Falles, and it ends Tuesday when they burn them, so be prepared for lots of explosions partying and screaming kids. Bob

I should add it is not only happening in this area. Bob.

Well tonight they burn them, and I was interested in what they make them with.
What is a Falla-Sculpture
The Falla is made of papier-mache on a wooden carcass. It is then sanded and painted.

Well I thought it looked like foam.

So if you ever go to see the burning remember this cute little guy is highly toxic. Bob
