Falles: A Time to Reflect

Falles: A Time to Reflect

Falles, a traditional celebration in Valencia, Spain, is more than just fireworks and parades. It is a time for reflection on the past year and a chance to look forward to the future.

During Falles, locals build elaborate papier-mâché sculptures, known as fallas, which are eventually burned in a symbolic act of letting go of the past. This tradition reminds us to let go of negativity and embrace new beginnings.

As the flames engulf the fallas, it is a reminder that from destruction can come rebirth. Falles is a time to reflect on what we want to leave behind and what we want to create in the future.
