La Plantà

La Plantà is a key event in the Fallas festival in Valencia, Spain, marking the official completion of constructing and installing the intricate, artistic ninots (papier-mâché figures) and sculptures. It typically occurs in March and signifies the beginning of the festival's main celebrations. During La Plantà, artists and craftsmen finalize their elaborate creations, which often depict satirical or cultural themes. Once the sculptures are in place, the city is filled with vibrant displays, setting the stage for the subsequent events, including traditional fireworks and the Cremà, when the figures are ultimately burned in a grand finale.
