Elysium Celebrates!
What can you see at the Fallas in Valencia?
The main attraction, without a doubt, are the hundreds of fallas, or fallero monuments, which are "planted" in streets and squares all over the city. Each falla usually follows a theme and consists of numerous individual sculptures or sculptural groups, called ninots, which tell their own story. They often depict famous people or critique current affairs, always with a good dose of humour, satire, and creativity. Just as important as appreciating their art and meaning is the thrill of watching them burn on the night of 19 March.
But there is much more to see in the Fallas. Don't miss the firework displays, from the mascletaes that happen every day to the dazzling Nit del Foc (Night of Fire) on the night of March 18th, or the colourful and devotional Flower Offering to the Virgen de los Desamparados (Our Lady of the Forsaken), which takes place on March 17th and 18th. Here you will see thousands of falleros and falleras dressed in their traditional costumes, examples of the best Valencian craftsmanship. There is no lack of music either, with concerts and parades taking place through the city centre.
