“It is crazier than Vegas.”

Those are the words my American partner in crime used to describe one of the best-known parties in the world that is Las Vegas Fallas and I believe her.

The Spanish don’t need much of an excuse to party. Working in Spain, a colleague of mine had asked me what foreigners think about the ‘Espanish’... I replied that they like fiestas and siestas coupled with tapas and good weather. She simply agreed. So when I realised the complete stereotype was coming up- a five-day long party near the beach in the city of Valencia, I just had to go. And it didn’t disappoint.

Basically Las Fallas is when crowds of mostly drunk people take photos in front of wooden statues that take a whole year (and money) to make that are then burned upon the festival’s conclusion…or is it? I found out it…
