Las Fallas de Valencia is an annual festival held in March, which is historically associated with the symbolic farewell to winter, as well as the remembrance of the patron saint of artisans St. Joseph.
For 19 days in March, the streets of Valencia are decorated with sculptures created by artisans, referring to local events. On the last day of the festival, after dark, the sculptures are burned.
A public event of this magnitude is also associated with serving a variety of delicacies, and a permanent feature of the streetscape are stands offering churros.
