*Special Edition - Valencia and surroundings, Spain - Las Fallas

Hi guys,

Today I MUST mention Las Fallas in Spain... which is celebrated every year from the beginning of March until the 19th. "Everybody near Valencia today must be having a lot of fun ;)!!"

Las Fallas was created a long time ago to burn up some old wooden furniture. However, over the years it evolved to something bigger. Several groups will build a "falla" during the year to tell their story about a chosen subject, which could be a complaint or whatever you can imagine in order to FINALLY burn it the last day... The Fallas are placed in the middle of the street, so you can imagine that it is a bit rackless.. But you certainly have to see it with your own eyes. And while your there, try to find a Mascleta.. ;) (don't forget your earpluggs!!) #Sophie

P.S. Check out the video until the end... ( *especially the firemen ) ;)
