If the smell of gunpowder excites you and the sight of flames makes you smile then Las Fallas of Valencia is the event for you – a loud, smoky, high-spirited fiesta where the whole town is literally set ablaze! Las Fallas is undoubtedly one of the most unique and wild festivals in Spain.

The tradition started when carpenters cleared out their workshops at the end of winter, throwing out odds and ends of wood and lighting them on the street the day of Saint Joseph. Nowadays, Las Fallas has evolved into a 5-day, multifaceted celebration involving fire. Valencia, generally, a quiet city with a population of just over 1 million, swells to an estimated three million flame-loving revellers during Las Fallas celebrations.
Las Fallas literally means “the fires” in Valencian. The focus of the fiesta is the creation and destruction of ninots (“puppets”), which are huge cardboard or wood statues. The ninots are extremely lifelike and usually depict bawdy, satirical scenes and current events. However, the Fallas are not just that. During these festivities- and even weeks beforehand – the streets are alive with fireworks displays, live music acts, artistic lighting, street performances, parades and more!
