Las Fallas is an annual festival that takes place in Valencia and its surrounding areas from the 1st to the 19th of March. It's a time when neighborhoods come alive with stunning fallas, which have been in the making for an entire year.
Every falla has its own unique theme, and you'll be amazed by the attention to detail and the level of creativity that goes into each one. From gigantic sculptures to intricate paintings, the fallas are a feast for the eyes.
During Las Fallas, you'll also get to experience the thrill of mascletas, which are Spanish fireworks that go off with a bang! But beware, they're not for the faint-hearted, as they can be pretty loud and startling.
As you make your way through the neighborhoods, you'll notice tents set up where people and families who helped build the falla are having their own parties. They're cooking up a storm, with delicious paella and barbecues adding to the festive atmosphere.
Finally, on the 19th of March, the Fallas are set ablaze, marking the start of spring. It's a spectacular sight to see the towering fallas go up in flames, and it's a great way to celebrate St. Joseph's Day, the patron saint of carpenters, and Father's Day in Spain. So, mark your calendars, and come join the fun!
Hasta Luego mis amigos!
