SPAIN FALLAS

Firemen keep a bonfire under control during the burning of sculptures for the annual Fallas festival in the early hours of Wednesday March 20, 2002, in Valencia, eastern Spain. Giant sculptures are burnt in bonfires across Valencia during Fallas in a centuries-old tradition thought to have it origins from carpenters burning old unwanted wood to herald in the season of Spring.
