Today without rain, but with a particularly annoying wind, the city of Valencia celebrates the Sunday before Fallas. Thousands of people circulate through the streets of the city where it is now possible to see many monuments without the plastic that covers them as the Fallas artists and their teams take advantage of the day to carry out work.
Friday the 15th at night is the limit because on Saturday all the faults must inexcusably be planted. Also in the towns where the festival is celebrated these days and where the previous fallera is experienced with the same emotion.
Hundreds of people have been waiting for a while on the outskirts of the Town Hall Square for the shot that will be fired at 2 p.m. by Pirotecnia Alpujarreña, with assistance, among others, from the family of Nino Bravo, Alberto Ibáñez, congressman for Compromís, and various Clubs. of Running of Valencia and the consul of Ecuador in Valencia, Marcela Velastegui Herrera, in addition to the mayor of Madrid, who returned the visit to María José Catalá after the firing of the Madrid mascletà on February 18, from which he finally did not could enjoy.
It is a Sunday of mascletà, but also of paella competitions, parades and many firecrackers, which are already being set off without respite with the permission of the Fallero side. Likewise, the assembly of the monuments continues to be key and the senior falleras of València will give an account of this this afternoon, who will visit the Ceballos and Sanabria workshop where, together with Marina Puche, the municipal children’s falla is being finalized.
There is also room for criticism of the festival, as AnimaNaturalis and CAS International did this morning, entities that carried out this Sunday, in front of the Valencia City Council, a protest action against bullfights and the death of these animals in the bullfighting celebrations in the Fallas.
In parallel, hoteliers and hoteliers work tirelessly, knowing the good forecasts: the Association of Rental Housing for short stays (AVAEC) estimates that the occupancy figures for these Fallas festivals for the tourist housing (VUT) in the city of Valencia have already reached 82.3% and expect that figure to increase next week. The entity highlights in a statement that, according to a study carried out among its associates, the average price per place and day in a VUT is 90.8 euros in Fallas, according to EFE.
