Falles: A Community Celebration
Falles: A Community Celebration
Falles is a traditional celebration in Valencia, Spain, where giant puppets are paraded through the streets and then burned in bonfires. This event brings together locals and tourists in a vibrant display of culture and art.
During Falles, neighborhoods compete to create the most elaborate puppets, known as ninots, which are displayed throughout the city. The festivities culminate on March 19th, when the ninots are set ablaze in a spectacular display of flames and fireworks.
This unique celebration not only showcases the creativity and craftsmanship of the Valencian people, but also fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among participants. Falles is a truly unforgettable experience that should not be missed.
