Description
People in Paiporta celebrate the 'Fallas' festival with colourful puppet-like sculptures called 'ninots' almost five months after devastating floods killed more than 230 people. Anger and grief are still raw in the eastern Valencia region, where 225 people died. "The truth is that many of us didn't feel like celebrating Fallas or having a party," says Gabriel Fernandez Molina, who works as a salesman, but the 44-year-old adds, "We have to move forward, keep rebuilding, make the most of these Fallas, and keep going."
