fireworks. Fallas are big sculptures made of wood and paper. People burn them at the endi
of the festival. The festival takes place on 15-19 March every year
David and Marta, two teenagers from Valencia, are talking about the preparation for the
festival of Las Fallas

end of winter to celebrate spring. Now, big groups of neighbours usually make a falla
together. They can take about a year to make! My brother is an artist and he designed our

Marta: I live in a village near Valencia but I come and stay with my grandmother for Las
Fallas. There's music, dancing and lines of people walking in the streets. It's a very noisy
