Fallas de Valencia
Posted by admin on August 16th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedLas Fallas en un Festival que se realiza en pueblos y ciudades de la comunidad de Valencia. La fiesta anual, que es del 14 al 19 de marzo, conmemora a San José, patrono de los carpinteros.
Fallas son creaciones artísticas de elementos combustibles. En un principio eran de cera. Ahora se realizan obras de diversas materias. A estas obras se las llama ninots.
Hoy en día es una gran atracción turística, aunque mantiene su toque local. Esos días la fiesta no para, y la ciudad no duerme. Hay carnaval sin parar.
Los monumentos que hacen pueden alcanzar los 30 metros. El récord es de 32 metros. Los artesanos dedican meses durante el año para este evento.

Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
