Correfoc

Correfoc, Valenciano language meaning, 'Run with fire.' There's not much more to say. Just run!

Except, of course, this being Valencia, there has to be a band...

Oh, and a sort of go-kart thingy. (Not sure what that is in Valenciano.)

Yes, and skeletons. 

And did I forget to mention the bull? On wheels?

Oh. And a train...

Apart from those, all pretty run-of-the-mill stuff...

Have a very pleasant evening.

And a big thank you to our hosts, Xarxa Teatre. Well run!

Fallas, 2016

I wonder what we'll see this year?

I was in Valencia last weekend to get a first glimpse of this year's Fallas monuments as they were being unloaded and erected. Here are some of my favourite images:

The traditional 'light-tunnel' in Calle de Cuba was spectacular.

We also stumbled across a small 'Moors and Christians' parade on Saturday night, which featured some rather splendid (panto) camels.

It's a long day touring the Fallas, everyone needs a rest at some time...

And if you enjoyed those, here are some from previous years:
