Las Fallas: Valencia’s Fiery Soul
Throughout the festival, the streets of Valencia transform into an open-air art gallery, showcasing monumental falla sculptures crafted from wood and papier-mâché. These intricate creations, often satirical and inspired by current events, are true works of art that reflect the ingenuity and humour of Valencian artisans. Smaller fallas, crafted for children, ensure the magic is shared by all.
On March 19th, the city blazes to life as these sculptures are ceremoniously burned in a spectacular celebration known as La Cremà. The performance represents a cathartic release, burning away the old to make room for the new. It’s a sensory feast you’ll never forget.
