Las Fallas
Las Fallas is one of Spain's most spectacular and UNESCO-recognised festivals — a stunning combination of art, fire, music, and Valencian pride. Every March, the city of Valencia fills its streets with hundreds of enormous satirical sculptures (fallas), only to burn them all to the ground in a magnificent midnight inferno on the final night.
