Las Fallas

LIST

HIDE

Las Fallas is considered a festival of noise and fire. It is held from the 1st to the 19th of March. The celebration at Valencia begins early at 8 am. Festivities begin with a startling noise that is called “La Desperta.” This includes brass bands and firecrackers but this is only the beginning. The fun and noise will take place throughout the day. The “La Mascleta” takes place at 2pm and involves an extravagant show of beautiful explosions. The main explosion of the show is held at the main square, the Plaza Ayuntamiento.

라스 팔라스는 소음과 불의 축제로 여겨지며 3월 1일부터 19일까지 열린다. 발렌시아에서의 기념행사는 오전 8시에 일찍 시작된다. 축제는 "라 데스페타"라고 불리는 깜짝 놀랄만한 소음으로 시작한다. 금관악기 밴드와 폭죽은 시작에 불과하다. 재미있는 볼거리와 소음은 하루종일 계속된다.
"라 마슬레타"는 오후 2시에 열리며, 아름다운 쇼를 만드는 멋진 폭죽이 함께한다. 그 쇼의 주요 폭발은 아윤타미엔토 메인 광장에서 열린다.

Q & A

Vocabulary

Q. Describe an interesting festival from your hometown or country.

A. There is a very popular garlic festival in my hometown in San Francisco, USA. Believe it or not, everything is made out of garlic at this festival, including ice-cream! It always takes place near the end of summer. Entry to the garlic festival is free but visitors have to pay for the rides and anything that they want to buy at the festival. I remember there were jams made out of garlic, garlic popcorn, garlic candy, garlic cookies, and garlic ice-cream, which was surprisingly delicious. There was also a garlic bread making contest. The garlic and butter spread were provided by the festival organizers and participants had to spread the garlic spread between pre-cut loaves of French bread. The first person to apply all the garlic bread spread to all the bread wins. The winner usually brings home a basket full of garlic goodies. It is one of the most interesting festivals that I have been to. I have brought friends before who said they were not interested or not in the mood because it’s garlic but once we were there, they couldn’t get enough!
