FALLAS !!


"FALLAS" IS A FESTIVITY THAT CELEBRATES THE PATRON SAINT JOSEPH IN THE

CITY OS VALENCIA. IN THIS FESTIVITY THER ARE MANY PEOPLE CALLED

"FALLEROS" WHO REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT FALLAS OF THE DIFFERENTS

NEIGHBOURHOODS IN VALENCIA.

THEY USUALLY MEET IN THE "CASALES" WHERE THEY DRINK, EAT AND MAKE

PARTIES TOGETHER.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINK IS THE FALLA. THEY ARE BIG STRUCTURES MADE

OF CARTON AND PAINTED LIKE REAL ART DISPLAYS. IN THE STRUCTURES THERE

ARE "NINOTS" THAT CRITISIZE THE SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMICAL

PROBLEMS OF OUR SOCIETY.
