Valencia's Festivals, culture and traditions |
| |
Light, gunpowder, music and flowers are elements constantly
found in Valencian celebrations. A must because of its beauty
and uniqueness is Fallas (15-19 of March), Festivities which
have been named as of International interest for tourism.
During the "Fallera" week, the city becomes an ironic museum
open 24 hours a day, and made up of an artistic collection
of more than 350 monuments made from paper maché, set up in
the middle of the city's streets. . |
|
Art and humour are mixed to form humorous "ninots"
which aim to provoke giggles among the Valencian people, due
to their daring criticism of society and current politics.
Fallas is an extrovert festival, which is celebrated mainly
in the streets to the sound of brass bands and to the aroma
of "Bunyols"( Typical cake made from dough or pumpkin and
sugar) with hot chocolate, and the passing of young Valencians
in the city's parades, clad in the regional typical costumes.
Gunpowder and fire in the "Mascleta" and the firework
displays, contagious. Turmoil, devotion towards the Virgin
of the "Desamparados" and to St. Joseph...but overall traditions
which are alive and have been lived and re-lived are re-born
year after year with the coming of the " Josefina" festivities.

 |
On the
19th of March numerous "purifying" fires bring an end to the
beauty of the Fallas, although the sadness which this causes
is short lived, due to the knowledge that the circle of nature
has closed one circle in order to open another with the arrival
of Spring which re-news the spirit of all of us who love these
unique festivities, and we draw inspiration for the next year's
Fallas. |

| Easter
Week is an important date in the Maritime district of the
city, where the inhabitants join in colourful processions which
represent biblical characters, dramatising the passion of Christ.
. |
 |
| |
"El
Corpus"( The body of Christ), festivity, which closes
the cycle, and depends upon the variable timetable of Lent and
Easter, brings us the "ROCAS" processions of great floats which
represent mysteries of the bible, Giants and Large headed characters,
dance groups, "Cirialots" (Senior carriers of large candles) |
| The
Valencians enjoy intensely the urban summer in the "July fair",
which brings us a month filled with concerts, bullfights, shows
and an array of attractions celebrated outdoors, and all leading
up to an authentic and traditional "Battle of Flowers" .
|
|
| |
The
numerous music bands which exist in the Valencian community
shows us the depth of tradition and love of music amongst the
Valencians, which reaches its high point with the annual celebration
of the international Bands convention in July, which has embraced
the city year after year for the last 100 years. . |
If a worker should break the rules, he will be judged by a "Watering
Jury" (Tribunal de las Aguas), popularly known as the
Water Tribunal. This institution is over 100 years old, and in
its uninterrupted existence it has always been made up of 8 democratically
elected workers, elected every 2 years. . |
|
| Dressed in
the typical, old fashioned countryman's "blusón".( Large black
shirt-like garment), the members of the jury have the responsibility
of achieving justice through an oral process which must be in
the Valencian language. Visitors may enjoy this live example of
order and cohabitation every Thursday at midday in the Apostle's
door at the Cathedral of Valencia. |
