THE MOST IMPORTANT FESTIVAL IN MY CITY
FALLES
( meaning FIRES in Valencian language)
FALLES is a very popular and traditional celebration not only in my city, Valencia, but also in many other towns and small villages. It starts on 15th and finishes on 19th March.
The ingredients for this festival are: fire, gunpowder, firecrackers, people in the streets, parades, music bands, flowers, paella, light and colour ...
A falla is a monument made by expert artists. The statues are made of wood, cardboard and other materials. In the streets and squares there are more than 700 falles, big and small. They can be up to 20 metres high. The process of construction of a falla is long and hard word. It takes months and sometimes a whole year.
TYPICAL COSTUMES
Many people wear the typical costumes in bright colours.
