Valencia is currently enjoying the biggest annual festival, Las Fallas. It’s an amazing and unforgettable experience for locals and tourists alike.
This festival offers the best of everything Spanish fiestas are renowned for. It is centred around gigantic Disney-like monuments called “Fallas”, which criticise almost everything happening in the local, national and international scene, but do so with tongue in cheek and on the last day of the festival (19th March) they are all burnt to the ground!

There are only 18 days left for the plantá of the monuments and the Falla Nou Campanar has started to plant its gigantic monument.
The ambitious project continues to record breaking numbers, both in the number of his figures and in the budget estimated at 900,000 euros, the most expensive figure in history, despite the economic crisis.
Since the size of the monument is enormous, 29 meters high, the artist Julio Monterrubio, has begun the preparations with which he aims to achieve the first prize in the Special Section.

Las Fallas are the most popular street festivals in Europe and yesterday they were officially inaugurated in Valencia.
Last night, around 45,000 falleros vibrated with the words of the Valencia Mayoress Rita Barberá and the Falleras Mayores (festival queens) Marta Agustín and María Berbel.
This year, the traditional act of the Cridá, originated in 1931, had a peculiar innovation. It was supported by an aerial acrobatic show with giant balloons accompanied by lights, images and smoke.
