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.
There is not a better way to honour and admire the Valencians’ efforts than reaching out to this beautiful city from today until closing weekend (Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 March).
This afternoon there will be a Mascletà -firecrackers- under the supervision and design of the Caballer brother at 14:00 h. at the town hall square.
Tonight there will be a Folk Parade that will start at the center of Valencia from 23:00 h and will end with a firework show by Benlloch pyrotechnics.
