Why La Falla?
The Fallas Festivity is a kaleidoscope of tradition and culture that projects València around the world. La Falla Immaterial only seeks to be a humble mirror in this marvelous artifact which everybody can play and have some fun with. La Falla Immaterial is in no way meant to supersede any aspect of the local festivity nor to replace its key players:comissions, artists, falleres and fallers.
