On the hunt for Fallas in Valencia

If you have been following my Twitter feed, you would have seen lots of photos of the Fallas around Valencia. Finding these Fallas dotted through out the city has been my mission recently and will remain so till the end of the festival when they all go up in flames! All Fallas, bar one, will be burnt on the 19th March. Can you believe it? These are works of art, so much detail, so much thought, so much work - all of that to be then burnt to the ground and then the process begins again for the next year. Thats one way to keep the artists and creatives of a city employed! And the fact that they are burnt make them fleeting pieces of art, be there to see them that year before they are gone forever.


















The Fallas are not the only part of the Las Fallas festival but i'll leave it there for now. I'll be back with more later :)

Which one of these is your favourite so far?
