Each year, all of the Fallas are judged, and the main winning one is often saved from cremation and placed in a museum of winning Fallas. This year, the winning one was in an area called Nou Campoanar (I think) which was their third win in a row. We walked to have a look at it (quite a trek) as it cost a reported €900,000 to make. The creators had decided that they would set fire to it after all, since this was meant to be a celebration/fiesta, and they didn't want the event to be marred by the crisis. This particular one was 24 meters tall, and took more than 2 years to make.
