Las fallas 2012: My two favorite fallas

Today is the second day of Las Fallas in Valencia, which goes until March 19.  If you don't know anything about the fallas sculptures on display in Valencia during this festival, take a quick look at this post.

There were two fallas last year that really stuck out to me as favorites:

1. Da Vinci

And here's a model of the falla that was on display near the real thing:

2. Flower Fairies


I'm not sure the actual name of this one (nor the Da Vinci one above), but I've named it "flower fairies".
