      Gandia old Town and Fallas Museum

      April 5, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      We walk into the main centre and Old Town and back ( over 18 000 steps and 12 Km).

      There's a festival in this part of the world celebrating the Fallas. It happened here a few weeks ago. Street parades, overlifesize models representing some satirical theme, beautifully dressed women and girls vying for the best one, finished off with a massive fireworks and fire.

      The History of Las Fallas
      Las Fallas is a Spanish festival that dates back to the Middle Ages. The festival celebrates the arrival of spring, and traditionally, giant effigies of paper mache were burned in the streets. 

      Today, Las Fallas is still celebrated with bonfires, but the effigies have been replaced by smaller statues called ninots. Las Fallas is held every year in the city of Valencia, and it attracts visitors from all over the world. 

      "The Museum offers you a different experience where you will learn the roots of the Valencian people. You will enjoy the best "Ninots" and the process of creating a falla, you will learn the trade of a fallero artist, unique in the world. You will discover the secrets of dressing a fallera and the typical Valencian clothing, you will experience a “mascletà” firsthand and you will be surrounded by traditional music. Finally we will reveal the mystery of the fire ritual."

      Fiona and David saw the festival and said it was incredible.
