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

tell you a little more about it. Valencia is a coastal community of Spain, famous for its 00:00:12

community of arts and sciences, its beaches, its paellas and especially its Fallas. Fallas de Valencia 00:00:18

came from the tradition of carpenters since they burned remains of wood that they found 00:00:26

on the street celebrating in San José. Over time they created satirical figures of cardboard and 00:00:30

match paper and burned them as a symbol of purification and welcome to spring. 00:00:35

Since 2016, the Fallas are a heritage of humanity. The most prominent parts of the monument 00:00:39

in this celebration are the great satirical figures made of cardboard, 00:00:45

madera y papel maché que representan escenas de la actualidad o temas cómicos o las fallas crema 00:00:55

que es la quema de las fallas que ocurre la noche del 16 de marzo simbolizando la purificación y el 00:01:02

fin del invierno y también está la mascleta que es un espectáculo pirotécnico diario durante las 00:01:11
