The city of Valencia ended its annual festival, known as Las Fallas, with the traditional 'crema', the burning of all the giant sculptures which had been displayed for almost a week in many streets of the city.
Huge bonfires at midnight mark the end of the five-day festival that was added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage of humanity list on 30 November 2016.
