Falles: Spain’s Most Famous Tradition

Falles is an annual celebration in Valencia, Spain, involving huge, intricately designed sculptures that are burned in bonfires. The event also includes parades, fireworks, and traditional costumes.

Started in the Middle Ages, Falles takes place in March, with each neighborhood creating its own sculpture. The festival culminates in the «cremà,» where all the sculptures are set ablaze.

This vibrant and lively tradition attracts visitors from all over the world, making it one of Spain’s most popular and iconic events.
