How Valencia Celebrates Spring | Las Fallas De Valencia Festival 2022

The annual Las Fallas festival in Valencia, Spain, heralds the arrival of spring. Since 2016, it has been included on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Thousands of people gather in the streets. The main attraction are the papier-mâché figures, some more than 20 meters high - called Fallas.
Antonio Segura, alias Dulk, is a pop surrealist artist who's created the main Falla of Valencia in 2022. His Falla has a clear message: protect nature and protect what you love.

Very cool! A lot better than any Macy's parade we have in the States!

A small correction. We don't celebrate the arrival of spring. It'a centennial tradition started by the carpenters, Who celebrated the 19 of March (day of San José, father of Jesus, a carpinter) and they started to burn wood in the street to celebrate his day off

Thanks for your expert knowledge here 🤓

[@josedolz8998]

This is not entirely true, the carpenters did celebrate the arrival of spring that coincides with the day of their patron Saint Joseph. Both things are true.
