Falles: A Festival of Light

Falles: A Festival of Light

Falles is a traditional Valencian celebration that takes place every March. During the festival, large structures made of wood and paper are set on fire, lighting up the night sky in a spectacular display of light and color.

The festival originated as a way for carpenters to dispose of their old wood at the end of winter, but has evolved into a cultural event that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world.

In addition to the burning of the falles, the festival also includes parades, music, fireworks, and traditional Valencian cuisine. It is a time for locals to come together and celebrate their heritage, as well as a chance for visitors to experience the unique traditions of the region.
