La Crema - The Burning of the fallas figures.
Around midnight on March 19th, these falles are burnt at huge bonfires. This is known as the Cremà, i.e. "the burning", and this is of course the climax of the whole event, and the reason why the constructions are called falles ("torches"). Traditionally, the falla in the Plaça de l'Ajuntamento is burned last. Many neighbourhoods have a falla infantil (a children's falla, smaller and without satirical themes), which is a few metres away from the main one. This is burnt first, at 10 pm. The main neighbourhood falles are burnt closer to midnight.
