Falles: A Time for Rebirth

Falles: A Time for Rebirth

Falles is a traditional festival in Valencia, Spain, celebrated in March. It marks the arrival of spring and the burning of large sculptures to symbolize renewal and new beginnings.

During Falles, locals and tourists alike gather to witness the spectacular fireworks, parades, and the burning of the «fallas» — the elaborate sculptures made of wood, paper, and other materials. It is a time for reflection, letting go of the past, and embracing the future with hope and optimism.

As the flames consume the «fallas,» it is believed that they carry away all the negative energy and pave the way for a fresh start. Falles is not just a celebration, but a ritual that invites everyone to shed their old selves and embrace transformation and renewal.
