Las Fallas De Valencia

This traditional feast honors Saint Joseph and takes place in the city of Valencia. Fallas is a Spanish word that refers to both the event and the huge monuments that are burned during the festivities. This annual event takes place in the month of March each year.

Each city neighborhood has an organized group of people known as the Casal Faller, who labor all year long to throw fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the well-known dish paella, a regional delicacy. Each casal faller creates a falla, which is finally burned. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera, and there are about 400 of them registered in Valencia right now.

The burning portion of this particular event is founded in old Pagan practices, which is an interesting fact. Las Fallas De Valencia is famous for its spectacular fireworks displays and live music. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn about local culture while also having a blast.
