Valencia on fire
The days and nights in Valencia are one running party during the two weeks of Fallas. Explosions can be heard all day long and sporadically through the night.Foreigners may be surprised to see everyone from small children to elderly gentlemen throwing fireworks and bangers in the streets, which are littered with pyrotechnical d�bris.
The Fallas are a Valencian tradition which celebrates Saint Joseph’s Day.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people that works all year long on the Ninots:
Up to 500 huge, highly decorative and beautifully made satirical sculptures, constructed from flammable materials, are set up in every square of the city on the 15th of March until nearly all of them will be set on fire in the night of 19th of March.
