The annual Ninot Exhibition opens this Saturday, 4 February and runs until 15 March.

For those of you who don’t know a lot about Fallas yet, ninots are figurines (often life-sized) which make up part of a falla. Every year, each of the clubs which build a falla puts one ninot into the exhibition where the public vote for their favourites.

Route 66 Idiomas language school students shouldn’t miss this opportunity to get a close-up look at over 750 ninots and vote for their favourite models. The winners of the public vote in the “mayor” and “infantil” sections will be declared “indultat” and saved from being burnt on 19 March (they are then kept in the Fallas Museum).

Tickets for the last 2 weeks of the exhibition and weekends usually sell out fast. So if you want to visit to exhibition, get down to Nuevo Centro shopping centre (metro stop: Turía) as soon as you can to avoid queues and disappointment.

For those of you who are new to Fallas, the pictures above should give you an idea of the calibre of previous winners of the prestigious honour that is being chosen as Ninot Indultat. For more information, check out fallas.com.
