[...] For example, if they want to burn down very very flammable wooden statues in very tight streets, while standing very close, despite the risk that the whole city might catch fire and be destroyed forever, then that’s just fine. It happens in Valencia and is called Las Fallas. [...]

“It’s the fire season….”

Said in the loveliest Spanish/lady voice I’ve ever heard.

Sing something at NFS Marina, maybe some nice traditional Spanish songs….

OOmigod! Las fallas was unbelievable, I was there for 5 hours straight at one point. It was amazing only my husband ditched me for another women and now we are going through a divorce:( So Las fallas turned out being a bad experience for me, ya know. And then my teenage daughter ran off with some drug addict named Sean, and I havent seen her since. I think about her everyday now and I always go to the Las Fallas just hoping she might show up someday. I think I am also pregnant which depresses me even more cause I will be doing this all alone, My parents are dead. But I still keep my head up high each and every single day! I thank god for all the stuff he has given me so thanks for reading this. God Bless you

I think that Valencia and I have finally recovered from Las Fallas. I live in a really loud, loud, extremely loud neighborhood even without Fallas as there are a bunch of nightclubs directly below my apartment. It’s either I pour boiling oil off my balcony or join the mob in the streets until 5 a.m. every day for a week. Throw in endless firecrackers beginning at dawn (called despertí in Valenciano, but I call them something else not fir for print), fireworks, out-of-town guests sleeping in my bed which left me in my crappy guest bed, and it adds up to major sleep deprivation. If it sounds like I’m complaining it’s either because I’m getting old or Valencia went totally insane for a few days. Next year I’ll invest in earplugs. BYOB

Thanks for covering las fallas. You did a great job with both formats, whereas TVE didn’t cover it for a second, at least what was shown in TVE Internacional.
