Las Fallas Festival in Valencia, Spain is a week-long festival with music, and a lot of fireworks. Fallas are big sculptures made of wood and paper. People burn them at the end of the festival. The festival takes place on 15-19 March every year. David and Marta, two teenagers from Valencia, are talking about the preparations for the festival of Las Fallas. David: The tradition of Las Fallas started when carpenters burned their old wood at the end of winter to celebrate spring. Now, big groups of neighbours usually make a falla together. They can take about a year to make! My brother is an artist and he designed our falla. He’s worried because he hasn’t finished and it has to be ready next week! Marta: I live in a village near Valencia but I come and stay with my grandmother for Las Fallas. There’s music, dancing and lines of people walking in the streets. It’s a very noisy festival and it goes on all day and all night for a week. A lot of people wear beautiful, traditional costumes and they make foods in the streets. It’s always great fun. This year is going to be the best. I’m really excited! T F N/M 1. The Las Fallas festival is at the beginning of March. __ __ ___ 2. It takes place in Valencia, Spain. __ __ ___ 3.
