The House of the rocks is where you store the floats and other elements that appear in the Corpus Christi procession. He knew them floats with the name of rocks. The floats are 1500 1961 approximately, all-wood. Also are the Giants and big-heads, caballets, MOMA and MOMO etc... During the procession, all these characters make their dances. These dances and costumes have more than 650 years. The main character is the Moma in the 16th century, 8 dancers are the virtues and the seven deadly sins. The moma goes totally dressed in white with a covered face. The moma is a man, so it goes with the blocked side because in the past they did not allow men who will dress as well. More or less that's the story. Valencia history.

Tradition around frauleichnam in the city. All parades. Most cars can be seen here. Be sure to look to the video on the second floor in English. The film gives a good idea how big and lively this celebration is in the city.
