00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:12,640
We are here to talk about the Fallas de Valencia, a unique celebrity in Spain, which today we are going to

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:18,559
tell you a little more about it. Valencia is a coastal community of Spain, famous for its

4
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:26,379
community of arts and sciences, its beaches, its paellas and especially its Fallas. Fallas de Valencia

5
00:00:26,379 --> 00:00:30,260
came from the tradition of carpenters since they burned remains of wood that they found

6
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:35,659
on the street celebrating in San José. Over time they created satirical figures of cardboard and

7
00:00:35,659 --> 00:00:39,619
match paper and burned them as a symbol of purification and welcome to spring.

8
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:45,420
Since 2016, the Fallas are a heritage of humanity. The most prominent parts of the monument
