Valencia’s Fallas
Valencia’s Fallas is a traditional festival where everything related to fire, sound and traditional arts go hand in hand together for two weeks, but with preparation lasting the whole year.
Burning down the paper sculptures symbolizes cleansing and a new beginning, because the creative process of the following year’s Fallas begins as soon the current year’s edition comes to an end with the cremà.
