Sparkie Meets Fallas - https://a.co/d/3muLqx2

Our new book designed especially for kids was relwased today 10th November 2024.

 In Sparkie Meets Fallas, join ten-year-old Sparkie on his first adventure through the vibrant Las Fallas festival in Valencia, Spain. Sparkie is new to this world of giant statues, thrilling fireworks, and time-honored traditions, and each chapter leads him to new discoveries. From watching flower-filled parades to feeling the ground shake during the children’s mascletà, Sparkie’s journey is filled with excitement, wonder, and a bit of magic. With a heart full of curiosity and a few surprises along the way, Sparkie learns that sometimes the best memories come from new places and that there’s more to Las Fallas than meets the eye.

It was launched on Amazon on the 4th October and as writing this post it has been 11 days and it seems to be a great hit!

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.

You can follow my journey by ordering your copy of, "Valencia & Fallas through my eyes - an Explosive Journey", now only from Amazon.

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!! 

On the afternoon of 29th April 2025, the City Council of #Valencia has selected the following project submissions for the municipal fallas of #fallas2025 #falles2025
