FALLAS
First of all, we need to know what is "Fallas". It's the most important and popular festivity in Valencia, Spain. Also, it's a festivity declared of National Turistic interest. It involves the construction of figures which will be burned later, concretly on 19th of March.
This party starts on 15th of March and ends on 19th on March too.
Every single figure is called "falla", and they have their own name depending on the place that they're located. People who live there has a holiday week, during the festivity. Furthermore, people wear the typical clothes: girls wear a very big dress with powerful and brilliant colours with a special hairstyle too. On the other hand, boys wear a vest and a shirt with short jeans. They usually wear a hanky on their head. The typical food are doughnuts and 'paella' which are delicious.
In addition other thing that is very famous are firecrackers and even there's an amazing and noisy explosion of them every day at 2p.m since the festivity has started.
Finally, all the figures mentioned before, are burned the last day, and the following day, the artists start building new ''fallas'' for the next year.
In my opinion, it's the best festivity in my country. I love it and I go to Valencia every year to see the 'fallas'.
