Las Fallas Valencia 2010

2 weekends ago I traveled down to the city of Valencia on the Mediterranean Coast for the celebration of Las Fallas, which is the huge fiesta in honor of the Patron Saint of Valencia San Jose taking place between March 15 to March 22. I traveled there with my friends John McGough and Noah Sandoval for one day of fiesta in Valencia. Thousands of people were gathered to watch the spectacles of fireworks and bonfires that spread across the city. Constantly for hours one could hear the explosions of artillery shells and pops from the endless supply of fireworks. Then at night we marvelled at the burning of Las Fallas which are these huge constructions of combustible materials that are decorated to imitate various figures and animations. It was a celebration I will not forget standing in the middle of a crowd of thousands not being able to move, watching the impressive show of music, colors, explosions, and fire, and then retreating to the beach for our own bonfire and night of fun. Pictures will be coming!
