What are the Fallas?
Las #Fallas are Valencia's most universal #festival, declared Intangible #Cultural #Heritage of Humanity by #UNESCO. Its name refers to the spectacular sculptural monuments made of wood and papier mâché that are placed in the city’s streets and squares to be admired before they succumb to the flames. In addition to the large fallas, there are also children's fallas, much smaller in size, designed by and for the little ones.
The Fallas are celebrated in #March. The origin of the festival goes back to the #tradition of improvising bonfires with old furniture to #celebrate the arrival of #spring, and it also coincides with the celebration of St. Joseph's Day, the patron saint of carpenters. The festive events begin on the last Sunday in February with the #Crida, in which the falleras mayores spur people on to have fun at the #Fallas. Then, from March 1st onwards, the #Mascletà is fired daily in the City Hall square. The main dates, though, are from March 15th to 19th, when the plantà begins and the cremà (burning) of the monuments happens.
The main attraction, without a doubt, are the hundreds of fallas, or fallero monuments, which are "planted" in streets and squares all over the city. Each falla usually follows a theme and consists of numerous individual sculptures or sculptural groups, called ninots, which tell their own story. They often depict famous people or critique current affairs, always with a good dose of humour, satire, and creativity. Just as important as appreciating their art and meaning is the thrill of watching them burn on the night of 19 March.
But there is much more to see in the Fallas. Don't miss the firework displays, from the mascletaes that happen every day to the dazzling Nit del Foc (Night of Fire) on the night of March 18th, or the colourful and devotional Flower Offering to the Virgen de los Desamparados (Our Lady of the Forsaken), which takes place on March 17th and 18th. Here you will see thousands of falleros and falleras dressed in their traditional costumes, examples of the best Valencian craftsmanship. There is no lack of music either, with concerts and parades taking place through the city centre.
