I haven't found my photo, but apparently my mom had either mine or she did a similar one

I love this photo from fallas last year because this was the last bit of this one falla to be caught in flames and it didn't even end up burning! it just fell down! it was so cool to witness, so poetic

Fallas 2024 rocks on

Starting March 1 each year, Fallas is an annual celebration of renewal, a kind of out with the old and in with the new, clean out the shop and closet to create something out of scrap. Well that’s the way it began, morphing into an over the top celebration of, well, pretty much whatever you want, most using a wood/foam construction to create these gravity defying sculptures as well as the smaller…

Los protagonistas de las fallas valencianas son los ninots, muñecos en valenciano. Los ninots son figuras artísticas, cuidadosamente elaboradas, con diferentes materiales combustibles, especialmente en cartón piedra, facilitando que éstos ardan, dando inicio a las tradicionales fallas. Estos muñecos suelen tener un carácter satírico y burlesco, a manera de crítica ante determinadas situaciones políticas y sociales. Por decisión popular y de las falleras mayores algunos de estos inmensos muñecos se salvan de ser quemados; muchos de estos ninots indultados son los que se exhiben en el Museo Fallero de Valencia y en otras instituciones de la comunidad valenciana.

The protagonists of the Valencian fallas are the ninots, dolls in Valencian. The ninots are artistic figures, carefully made, with different combustible materials, especially papier-mâché, making it easier for them to burn, starting the traditional fallas. These dolls usually have a satirical and burlesque character, as a criticism of certain political and social situations. By popular decision and by the older falleras, some of these huge dolls are saved from being burned; many of these pardoned ninots are those that are exhibited in the Fallero Museum of Valencia and in other institutions of the Valencian community.

Falles in the catastrophe zone 🔥

It's been less than 5 months since the cold drop storm destroyed many towns and fields of the Valencian Country, with the inaction and disdain of the government, killing 227 people and leaving many without a home, shop, school, etc. and leaving people who had an ordinary life in poverty. Even though the cleaning and reconstruction has advanced, it will still take a long time for these towns to recover.

This week, it's time for the Falles holiday, one of the most celebrated holidays of the year in this part of the Valencian Country. The central element in the festivity are the falles, sculptures built by each association in the town or city that will be burned down. These falles can take months to be built. Some of the falles under construction were destroyed during the storms, and other associations lost their material and headquarters.

Photos taken in the town of Paiporta during this year's falles holiday. On the left, a house. On the right, people watching a parade, taken through a destroyed house.

It wasn't clear whether the holiday would be able to happen this year. At first, it was said that it was cancelled. But, after so much suffering, cancelling this beloved traditional festivity would cause more pain. The 150 falles commissions from the most affected area came together and decided to go forward. After the initial uncertainty, the preparations for the holiday went on.

Many associations have chosen to make a falla that honours the volunteers who came to clean up the mud that covered all the streets and filled the buildings after the storm. For example, this 12-meter-tall falla in made by Convent de Jerusalem group in Paiporta with the text "som" ("we are" in Valencian-Catalan language), the names of the towns affected by the cold drop storm, figures representing the volunteers and figures dressed in the traditional Valencian clothes worn during the falles holiday carrying the cleaning material and with their lower legs covered in mud.

The associations that lost their falles and their headquarters in the storm have had to find easier ways to make one. They have made simple structures with recycled material, and children have helped making the ninots (figures).

"Sols el poble salva el poble" means "Only the people save the people", a common expression of working class solidarity used in the Valencian-Catalan language which has been heard even more deeply since the governments' inaction caused so much needless death and destruction.

This falles have been different from any other that we can remember. But they show the strength and resilience of the Valencian population.

The holiday finished as planned, as always:

With more emotion than ever.

😍😍😍

how cool! alexia is one of the featured ninots (statues/puppets) as part of the falles de valència festival next week!

this is a really popular festival (it has even been recognised by unesco!) the origins date back to the middle ages when during spring as the days got longer, local carpenters would make a bonfire to get rid of oil lamps supported by wooden arms as well as old furniture and rubbish accumulated during the year. over the centuries, the festival evolved to focus on the issues of the day and the statues are meant to be satirical depictions, which is probably why they have alexia in her spanish kit and not in a barça one 😂

the ninots are placed on wooden structures on which to be displayed during the procession and then at the end, they are all burned!

La situación de Alberto Nuñez Feijóo y la de Carlos Mazón se encuentra en esos parámetros de debilidad extrema. Feijóo, porque es capaz de ver desangrarse a su partido y a las posibilidades de ser presidente del Gobierno viendo como Carlos Mazón pierde un escaño al mes sin ninguna posibilidad de intervenir para apartar al President del cargo... Mazón se ha convertido en un ninot de Vox que acabará ardiendo cuando haya conseguido acumular los días suficientes para poder cobrar su sueldo vitalicio de expresident... Mazón se ha convertido de facto en el único barón de Santiago Abascal. Vox puede hacer con Mazón lo que quiera, que el ninot de El Ventorro se lo concederá... Sabe que Carlos Mazón puede ser un títere con el que llevar a cabo sus políticas de manera interpuesta sin sufrir el desgaste de estar en el Gobierno... valiéndose de la desesperación y ambición del President puede sacarle cualquier cosa y así lograr crecer a costa de su imagen vapuleada... Vox tiene nuevo presidente en la Generalitat... Cada día de Carlos Mazón en el cargo es un clavo en el ataud de la gobernabilidad del PP (Antonio Maestre)
