Valencia’s fiery Las Fallas
In Pamplona, the heart of the San Fermin festival is the thundering herd of bulls. In Munich, the focus of Octoberfest is huge mugs of beer and swaying hordes of inebriated revelers singing “Ein, Zwei, Zufer.” In New Orleans, Mardi Gras centers on the parades and fabulous floats surrounded by nonstop music. Valencia’s city festival, Las Fallas is consumed by fire — more fire, explosions and fireworks than you could ever imagine. Charlie Leocha has been there.
