Its my personal journey of first visiting Valencia in 2011, my history as a professional pyrotechnician and making the permanent move to the city as an expat in 2017.

Already grateful for the positive feedback.

The Monteolivete Bridge passes the test for the #NitdelFoc of #fallas2025 #falles2025
The shot allowed wide areas of visibility and it seems better than in the old riverbed, at the Alameda. That still has its greatest enemies in the depth and of course, trees!
The fireworks display last Saturday , the “Cosmos” show, inspired by Andreu Alfaro, has been the litmus test for the Puente de Monteolivete to become the possible new stage for the “Nit de Foc” of the #Fallas .
Things have to change a lot so that the streets that lead from the Plaza de Europa to the Plaza del Maraton is not the place from which the #fireworks are launched on the night of the 18th to the 19th March, the most important and media-friendly time of the year.
Last Saturday's firing was planned as a test bench for the #castillos visual and to analyse its capacity to fulfil what is not always easy in #Valencia and it will be tested again this Saturday 20th July by Pirotecnia Valenciana SL to ensure that the greatest possible number of people can see it. It is not the best place in the world, because Valencia does not have a perfect firing area for everyone, (one that is large and as central as possible), but the fact that it is fired high up is an advantage that surpasses the new location, in the Turia Garden, which is not bad, but this one is considered better.
More to come on this soon!!
Hi Fallas fans, both old and new! We have some news for you.
We're changing! And don't worry because everything essentially will stay the same. But after months of consideration we've ultimately decided to widen our audience base.
And therefore, instead of being "Las Fallas Information in English", we will be known as simply, "Valencia Fallas, Festes & Fireworks".
We think this fits the profile far more accurately and as forementioned gives us a lot more room to highlight some of the other great events that the Valencian community puts on. And there really are some AMAZING events!!
The major changes will happen over time such as website domain etc due to running subscriptions but for now we can already reveal the new logo and we hope you like it! Please see below...
So the website www.fallasinenglish.com will stay the same but will host a lot more different news about other events in the region. And the full calendar of events and fireworks (on web) will remain the same!!
Of course all of Fallas will continue to be covered in it's entirety as per normal!!
So that's it in a nutshell and we hope to continue growing with you.
Many thanks
FF&F

One common question we get asked is, “does Fallas get very busy?”, or it may be something you have heard someone say... but exactly how busy does it get? Simple answer is... EXTREMELY BUSY!!
Check out our photo for a fair idea.
So if it’s your first time to Las Fallas, Valencia, then make sure you are prepared!! I cannot stress that enough. Make sure you take water, maybe something to eat as well as suitable protection from the sun. Many people faint while waiting for the Mascletà every year so don’t become a statistic!
We also strongly recommend getting to the Mascletà at LEAST an hour and a half before shoot time which is always 14.00hrs unless it’s a Mascletà nocturna (night shoot). This is so you can find an area that will suit you, a curb to sit on for example or a wall behind to lean against or even a barrier in front to rest upon. Maybe even invest in a collapsible stall/chair from the local Chinese bazaar for around 10€?
Cruz Rojo (Red Cross) first aiders will be at hand should you have any problems. So just be safe and enjoy!!
Don’t forget, it’s a party!! So please make the most of every minute!
