A woman looks at a Falla, a gigantic sculpted structure of cardboard and wood which humorously portrays
relevant current events and personalities, caricaturizing French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla
Bruni during preparations for the Fallas Festival in Valencia. The Fallas will be burned in the streets of
Valencia on March 19 as a tribute to St. Joseph, patron saint of the carpenters' guild. AFP
