We have just launched our website and we cannot choose a better theme than the one we have in March.
In this entry we leave you the calendar of failed events (below).
The Fallasbegin on the last Sunday of February, making the pregón from the Torres de Serranos, this pregón is known as the cridá, all the falleros and falleras (and valencianos and valencianas!). they gather to start the festivities with an afternoon full of joy.
From this moment on, falleros events, mid-day mascletás, night mascletás, streetwalks, bands of music, horseback riding of the ninot… and in the week of February 15th to 19th the festivals of failures is when they have their peak.
The night of March 15 is the plantá.
In Valencia there are more than 350 failed houses, and each casal plant 2 faults, one child and one of the adult commission, both (and all, more than 700) will burn on the night of March 19, the day of San José, patron of the carpenters.
Feasts as such begin in 1920, but this tradition of burning a bonfire comes from much earlier.
In the 17th century the carpenters’ workshops took to the streets the old trastos that did not serve to beat them fire, a way of breaking away from the past to start a new year.
If you want to know more about the topic, know all the events that are done in this period, the meanings of each thing, do not miss our Fallas Tour, also we will enter inside a fault.
