Ninot Exhibition 2008

From the 9th of February to March 15th you can get a sneak preview of the Ninots (Valencian for dolls or puppets) before they’re paraded through their neighborhoods and finally blown up during Las Fallas.

Admission to the exhibit is €2 per adult and it can be found in the Nuevo Centro at "Túria" metro station.
