Las Fallas is one of the biggest festivals in Spain, it takes place in mid-March in Valencia.  At this festival there are different rituals. The most important part are the Fallas which are huge, colorful and peculiar statues all around the city. With these statues people want to make fun of the rulers and authorities. At the end of the festival all the statues are  burned and the whole city is full of fire and ash. Another ritual is a pyroshow (mascleta). It happens every day at the same time in the same place. It takes about 10 minutes and during it people shoot loud fireworks and bangers into the air. The noise is ear-splitting.
