Hello people!
Nothing better than welcoming spring than after the local festivals of the region. Precisely Las Fallas are that festival that means leaving behind what was before and starting again, a renewal, like spring.
So I would like to share a little about this festival, part of Spanish culture, and specifically the province of Valencia. And to do this, I join this interesting #CrossCulture community to tell you more about the Fallas, exposing one of them as an example...
Thus Las Fallas are always in the month of March, the official days are from the 15th to the 19th, although from the 1st there are events, and a lot of noise, a lot of firecrackers, firecracker concerts that sound and reverberate at 2pm for nineteen days. But the 15th arrives and the streets appear blocked by large colorful artistic monuments, that is the Fallas.
Each Falla represents a story, rather, they are satirical criticisms of society, politics, events... lately there are those who look at them incorrectly, they are politicized people who have forgotten that the spirit of the Fallas that each Falla artist creates are precisely criticisms. with irony and grace to everything that is not liked. Because then on the 19th everything burns. And the bad things that have happened turn into ashes, and we wake up in silence on the 20th, today in spring, with a new beginning.
I show you one of the Fallas, there is one in each neighborhood, well actually, two, one large in the adult category and another in the smaller children's category. And they are all beautiful, the images and dolls (ninots) that tell various stories, always with a lot of color and a lot of art.
In this one there are many elements, on the other hand, for example, they symbolize dependence on mobile phones and social networks, and in another part there are word games represented in images, but you have to understand the language.
We read the notes below next to each group of elements, and we also look at those flags that indicate the awards that each monument receives, and this one in this small town has won many.
And the other falla, the children's one that symbolizes a trip around the world, with very funny dolls, has also won some prizes among all those competing in each city.
Other details
In Valencia, capital city, some of the most important Fallas are spectacular and gigantic in size, many meters high, but it is crowded with people and you can hardly walk through its streets these days.
In Sagunto it is quieter, but the happy and festive atmosphere is undoubtedly the same. Curiously, in this Falla (Plaza Rodrigo) in addition to the two Fallas, there is another artistic element, this year it is a representation of the four seasons of the year made with recyclable plastic elements (such as bottle caps, etc.) and the truth is that it has remained very nice, an art exhibition that adds more creativity to everything we see around here these days.
And of the four seasons we are left with the beautiful spring that is now beginning, because yesterday on the day of Saint Joseph (patron saint) at night they all burned. There are those who feel sorry for it, but that's life.
In ancient times, the origin of the Fallas were the old furniture that people threw into the street because it was no longer useful and was burned, later that gave way to these beautiful monuments that contain a lot of what we don't like narrated and sculpted in a beautiful and very comic, and all that burns, last night.
Suddenly there is nothing left, no Fallas, no music, no firecrackers, no party, now silence, and when we went to sleep we rested and we leave everything that is no longer useful behind. We wake up with ashes of what was, in a spring full of excitement for new things and for more joy and celebration.
Happy Spring! 🌸🌼💐🌷🌺🌻

Thanks! Well this year I haven't seen much, but I know it well.
Happy day!
Oh, which country are you in right now?
Spain
Yeah can you please do some food street photo bombs like is burrito popular in Spain, help!!
Burrito not popular here, that's Mexico if I'm not wrong. And not much street food here, people eat sit in open terraces jaja
So what about popular fast food in Spain? Can you do a photo bomb of that?
We must visit such events, the advantage is that a person who is a little worried, his life relaxes and one can learn a lot by visiting here.
Those popular events are good for us, they bring joy and happiness and we learn of course about many different things, thanks!!
Yeah you are right. Most welcome dear.

What a lovely traditions are in the world 🌍 Thanks for sharing this 😊
Te he escrito, me has dado un voto totalmente negativo, en lugar del positivo. Ten cuidado al votar, por favor, porque me puede perjudicar. Gracias.
Fue totalmente accidental!! Realmente lo siento. Creí que lo corregí al votar nuevamente :( Mil perdones!
Nada tranquila, sale corregido, mil gracias 😅 más que nada porque dicen que eso afecta a la reputación aunque no es mucho uno únicamente, sólo que no sé, todo hace y en algunas cuentas que quizás no tengan muchos votos o mucho nivel de reputación puede afectarles. El voto azul siempre, y el rojo es para cuentas spams etc. Yo apenas lo he utilizado, creo que nunca... para casos raros.
Bueno tranquila, yo también al principio no me aclaraba con todo. A ver si te animas a algún otro post, poco a poco podrás ir haciendo más, irás viendo que comunidades te son más cómodas o te gustan más, etc.
Oye me alegra que te haya gustado el post!!! Ya se han acabado las fiestas pero la Semana Santa es la semana que viene jaja ¡Feliz día!
Que bueno que se puede corregir! Realmente quería apoyar , no causar problemas jejeje, no en vano nació ese dicho de que "De buenas intenciones está empedrado el camino al infierno" jejeje.
Me gustan los países que mantienen sus tradiciones, en mi país la cultura y las tradiciones no se fomentan mucho, y al contrario, hasta se las consideran "rústicas" o no son valoradas como deberían.
Una de las únicas tradiciones podría verse en la ciudad de Tañarandy, en la que un artista local empezó a fomentar la celebraciones de semana santa mediante el arte. Deberías mirar algunas fotos en internet, realmente es muy bonito y se mantienen ciertas tradiciones, aunque sean de tipo religiosa. Saludos y que tengas excelentes viajes para seguir compartiendo tan bonitas fotos!
Nada no te preocupes la verdad que hay muchas cosas para entender en esta plataforma... es complicada.
Y sí aquí las tradiciones se mantienen especialmente por la fiesta, porque a la gente le gusta mucho la fiesta en general jaja y ahora la semana que viene más! Empieza la Semana Santa, este año todo bastante junto. Aquí se celebra, hay gente rancia que como lo politiza e idealogiza todo pues se pone a quejarse amargadamente... pero estas cosas nos dan identidad, unión y alegría, así que no entiendo bien porqué perderlas o menospreciarlas.
A ver si miro fotos de cómo se celebra allí, ¿ves? Compartimos además de la lengua, estas cosas y hay gente que sólo ve lo malo.
Espero que pases un buen fin de semana 🤗 !LUV
ladyaryastark, duvinca sent you LUV. 🙂 (4/10) tools | trade | connect | wiki | daily

Bueno por si me olvidaba he visto imágenes ahora... y se parece mucho a lo que se ve por aquí aunque en número de velas parece que ganáis!
Jajaja esa tradición habrá nacido porque nos electrificamos muy tarde. Si te fijas, las velas se hacen usando cascaras de naranja agria, y sebo de vaca, todo super artesanal. Y los cuadros gigantes que ves en fotos, se hacen con semillas de maíz de varios colores. Es como puntillismo pero con maíz 🌽
