Fallas Festival

The Fallas Festival, held annually in Valencia, Spain, is a vibrant celebration that blends art, tradition, and community. During this event, intricate, large-scale sculptures called "fallas" are crafted from papier-mâché, wood, and other materials, often satirizing current events or figures. These satirical sculptures are displayed throughout the city from March 15-19. The festival culminates in a spectacular fire called the "La Cremà," where most fallas are burned, symbolizing renewal and the arrival of spring. The event also features fireworks, parades, music, and traditional Valencian cuisine, making it a dynamic cultural showcase.
