Fallas from Valencia

During the celebration of the Fallas festival from Valencia, we create a special sociocultural program; especially adapted so the students gain a better understanding of this celebration and get to experience all stages, day and night, for one week: the mascletás and the fireworks; the traditional parades and the offering of flowers to the Virgin, also to visit the Monumentos Falleros (paper-mâché monuments) and the open-air concerts. Its climax is on March 19, with la cremà de las fallas (burning of the monuments).
