LAS FALLAS

Valencia, Spain March 15-19

Las Fallas or “The Fires” can be an intriguing Spanish revelry for most foreigners. It is about the burning puppets or dolls, which are created out of cardboard, wood, and papier mache. The tradition follows from decades ago when artists burnt the scrap from their workshop to celebrate the equinox. One can witness the revelry in the area of St Joseph. Locals dress up as famous personalities, and anyone searching for the celebration on social media will have albums to view. visitvalencia.com
