In this episode of Ah Spain Podcast, we’re gearing up for Las Fallas in Valencia—the fireworks, the falleras, the mascletà madness—and all the wonderfully weird things that come with it. From 800 towering statues taking over the streets and the one lucky ninot indultat that escapes the flames, to 60-pound silk dresses and firecracker shows you feel in your chest, we chat about the wild traditions behind Spain’s most explosive festival. We also wax poetic about daily life in Valencia: the mystery bread on doorsteps, the joy of grocery delivery, and why the city somehow doesn’t burn down?! Then there are the bonkers school holiday schedules (a week off for Fallas… then two more for Easter?!). Plus, how to survive Fallas with pets, why our kids get ridiculously cool school trips, and our annual dream of escaping Valencia during the chaos (spoiler: not this year). Grab a seat and escape to Spain with us.
