Why go
Las Fallas is the festival where a city builds monumental satirical sculpture for a year, exhibits some 750 of them in its streets, and then burns nearly all of it in a single night. UNESCO inscribed it as intangible heritage in 2016, but the visceral case is the daily mascleta, a two-o'clock pyrotechnic concussion concert in the town hall square that you attend with your ribcage, and the Crema on March 19, arguably Europe's most spectacular festival night. The Ofrenda in between fills two days with tens of thousands of falleros in traditional dress carrying flowers. Most of it is free, all of it is street-level, and nothing else on the festival calendar resembles it.
