Gandia
is the capital of the county of La Safor, between the
mountains and the beaches of The Mediterranean. Like its
much larger neighbour Valencia, Gandia greets the
arrival of springtime with a spectacular pyrotechnic
festival known as Las Fallas. Various events and
entertainments take place over the period of a few days,
culminating in the Feast of Saint Joseph on 19 March.
All the hard work put into the creation of giant figures
of wood and paper go up in smoke in the great bonfires
that take place in the evening as part of the Gandia
Fallas celebrations. |
