This is the big event of the year. Les Falles begin on the 1st of March and end on the night of the feast day of St. Joseph, the 19th of March. During those days there are street parties, and most importantly the “falles” are placed all over the city, more than 400 of them! And on St. Joseph’s night they will all burn!
“Falles” comes from “fax”, the Latin word for torches. And like the torches that carpenters used to light in honour of their patron Saint, Saint Joseph, the fallas will be lit. All year long carpenters and artists worked on creating these authentic works of art…
It’s fun, loud and beautiful. Take a look…

Congratulations for such a popular event that beautifies and adorns the city. Street art is the best of arts because of its strong roots in customs. A warm hug.

Gracias Volfredo. El domingo por la noche arden todas estas esculturas magnificas en lo que llamamos la cremá, así que es arte pero perecedero, algo así como una obra de teatro. Un abrazo.

Felicidades, me gusta la idea, es muy novedosa y después de todo, algo conservamos de nuestros ancestros piromaniacos, la conquista del fuego nos hizo llegar al ser humano que somos hoy. Un cordial abrazo.

it’s the type of festival that is hard to describe no matter how many pics and videos are posted. You have to be here and experience it.
