Cameras can't capture anything this big. Trying to describe Fallas in print makes you realize how desperately inadequate words can be. The festival revolves around gigantic, three-dimensional, satirical, cartoon-like structures built in every neighborhood of the city. Just make sure that you sleep before you arrive because you won't have time once the party begins, especially during the final five days. There are bullfights, block parties, concerts, parades, fireworks (both day and night), plenty of food and drink, ancient folklore, and modern iconoclasm.

When you enter the cemetery you'll notice the air is cooler and of course mustier. Walking around you'll start humming a song and suddenly find yourself trying to remember where you heard the song or if you're humming it because you're hearing it. You'll hear different voices that you think are only from wind. But when a little boy in a stripe shirt comes to you beckoning with his hand and goose bumps run up your arm you'll know you've done one of the 500 things to do in Spain before you "die". Spain is FULL of Paranormal activity and makes for an excellent hobby while you live here. Speaking of things to do before you “die” a must on anyone’s list is: the Cemetery of San José in Cadiz.
