*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 ) ;)

About the rabbits #5: Boat-trip Formanterra


Hi there,

My name is Sophie, and I'm 23 years old. I was born in a small village called Reek, which is in the Southern part of The Netherlands. I moved to Breda to start my study International Business and Management, which was the best decision EVER! ;) My study gives me the opportunity to follow the white rabbit all over the world. I LOVE to follow the white rabbit, so I can meet new people, experience different food, cultures and see what the world can offer me! Most beautiful place I've ever been is definitely Formanterra, which was part of my Erasmus-trip to Ibiza (ALSO AMAZING BY THE WAY.. :)) Just rented a scooter, drove around for a while enjoying the sunshine and ended up at one of the many bounty beaches. One word description: AWESOME!! ;) #Sophie
