Part of the annual village festival, the falles in Alins takes place on June 23. The tradition fell into abeyance for several decades, but was revived in 1988, in a slightly different format, but with many of the same elements as before. \u00a0The falles <\/em>torches are prepared long before the big day, even before the first snowfalls. They are of a range of sizes and are specially decorated, with parallel incisions along the sides. The descent from the hills of Sant Quirc and Botanal culminates in the lighting of the falla gran<\/em>, a tall pine trunk about eight meters high erected in front of the village church. This popular celebration concludes with music and dancing well into the night and games of skittles the next day.<\/p>\n
