FALLAS CALP

Las fallas is a festival that takes place around 19 March, San José Day (Father’s Day). The festivities usually start around 16 March with the presentation of Las Fallas (large cardboard and papier-mâché statues usually representing current events in a satirical way).

During the following days, you can participate in children’s games, enjoy a good paella washed down with sangría and watch the processions of “falleros” dressed in typical costumes. Finally, the 19th of March is the day of the Mascletá (a kind of fireworks display with loud firecrackers), during which the fallas are burnt at midnight to celebrate the arrival of spring.
