I always heard of "Las Fallas de San Jose"aka the festival of the great fire, but i never knew what it really was until I visited the city of Valencia. The joyous festival lasted for a week between march 13th and the 19th. The festival was celebrating San Jose's, Saint Joseph's day on march 19th. What they do is, they light candels and place them on the top of tall buildingson wooded masts so that people far away could be able to see them.
I really enjoyed the experience of being able to witness the culture and beliefs of the spanish people and to see how they celebrated somthing special to them. I personally would never think that i would enjoy watching people burn things but surprisingly i will deffinatly come back to visit and i would recomend a friend to come along so that they could experience what i have.
