We just got home from the “Nit de Foc” for the Fallas in Valencia.
Nit de Foc is held on the night of the 18th onto the 19th of March and is a 20 minutes fireworks show in the riverbed of the Turia.
We had chosen a great spot near our home, basically one bridge west of where the show was held. We went there with two classmates of Mia with whom we also spent the early part of the evening in a nice restaurant very near our home.
It was absolutely amazing to see so many people, literally thousands and thousands, on the streets, bridges, everywhere, staying up for this yearly fireworks show.
Because my best friend Inge is arriving tomorrow from The Netherlands for a long weekend visit, we decided to go home, but the party here in Valencia is not finished for basically the rest of the night. And tomorrow will be the crema: burning of all the more than 300 fallas that are spread out over town, with at around 1am the crema of the falla on Plaza del Ayuntamiento followed by yet another fireworks show…
The photos below are just very few impressions, underneath them also a video.
