the fallas..

The “fallas” is a traditional celebration of Valencia.. From March 16th on (my birthday, by the way) the people of Valencia have a long weekend. On that time we fire bangers, we eat “bunyols”(smalls doughnuts done with pumpkin)and “xurros”(long fritters) with hot chocolate and we drink “orxata”(juice of “xufa”). For the celebration, the streets are very illuminated with festival lights and there are several “mascletas” (series of petards that explode one after other one). There are different groups of “falleros/as”, they put the “fallas” (statues of carton and wood that the last day of the “fallas” we burn) and one “fallera” says goodbye to the “falla” on the “cremà” day and she cries, etc. I think that in general I like the “fallas”, because I like the petards, the “bunyols”, the “xurros”, the “orxata”, my birthday and the FIRE..!! But I don’t like the tradition of the “falleras”.. La Salle.3/11/07 Fallas.3/11/07 Fallas2.3/11/07 Word Reference.3/11/07
