Apart from the spectacular fireworks and pageantry, what struck me was the image of rows of people holding up their mobile phones to record the experience. That in itself will be a marker for our times.

💯 % agree 👍. The Spanish are tops at this . I’ve never been to Mexico or Brasil and it’s said they are really good at festivals but for now I’m awarding the title to Spain 😂. Many thanks for watching , Helen and Martin.

We watched this open-mouthed Martin Never ever seen anything like that. The huge fireworks and plumes of smoke at 2pm and the that incredible scene at 11pm onwards. The smoke - just mind blowing really What an incredible place and an incredible 24 hours.

Good morning , Valencia is an incredible City one of our favourites, but this was a level up even for Valencia., still buzzing now when I think about it. I know it wouldn't be a popular video in comparison to the others we post, but it had to be done for the interested few and for our memories. Thanks for taking time to watch it .

What an amazing spectacle, much as I'd love to see it I think it would be far too smoky, crowded & noisy for me but thank you so so much for sharing. The giant tortoise and other mechanical things parading through the street were spectacular as far as I am aware nothing like this has really taken off in the Uk to this scale, we have the large amazing carnivals in the west country and our fireworks I think are less smoky but it could be my Imagination or I may have viewed through Rose tinted glasses. 😂Many many thanks for sharing.

I’m reliably informed that Sadiq Khan has watched this Vlog for some inspiration for New Year’s Eve in London. That was really something special. I’m also now in 2 minds about the Duck Bill Platypus. Having seen it for a second time now, it’s growing on me. Thank you for sharing 😊

As a Spaniard, I think you´re easily one the most charming couples, offering some of the very best content about Spain on KZread, through the eyes of foreigners. And while I´m still not sure if I should be raining on your parade... did you know that an ever-increasing number of Valencians keep summer vacation days to ESCAPE the absolutely noisy nightmare the Fallas actually are, for many local residents?? "A new broom sweeps well...", they say, BUT... ;P Best!

Good evening and thankyou for your kind comments. We love Spain, so Culturally rich and it’s history long and fascinating. Out of the 20 European Nations we’ve visited it’s our favourite and we love the people here to. It’s interesting to understand local people’s perspective thankyou. I can empathise, of course I can imagine the disruption to every day life. What an event though , we’ve in awe of the organisation. Best wishes, Helen and Martin

@@HelenandMartinsTreks Glad to hear that. There´s gotta be something about a 47M country being the most visited country in the World... :P (The French cheat with their stats, look it up). Anyway, I just meant to say that while it´s one of the more important festivities in Spain, without a doubt, it´s a different thing for all those people who cannot enjoy, but ENDURE, the absolute madness it comes with it. Heck, if just every dog in Valencia had a saying, Fallas would´ve been forbidden decades ago... :D Best!

H&M your vlogs are magnifico! Thank you for the inspiration & ideas. Loving the content and above all your photos. Cheers

Hi Ivan , The Falla is made of papier-mache on a wooden carcass. It is then sanded and painted , designed to burn easily but then fall in on itself. Remarkable pieces of art they are. Thanks for watching, best wishes . Helen and Martin

That was amazing Martin. Were the doves supposed to go up or was that an accident ?

Hi , yes there are dozens of these figures or Fallas/Ninots all over the City, they all get burned to signify the start of Spring.
