Spanish Valencia celebrates its local traditional festival—the Fallas Festival—every March to honor the local patron saint, Saint Joseph, and to welcome the arrival of spring. During the festival, the streets and alleys of the city are filled with puppets made of wood, cardboard, and foam, featuring unique designs, various forms, and lifelike appearances; these puppets are known as Fallas.
