He weekend strong of the Valencia Fallas 2024 is here. Although it is true that the burning of the faults It falls this year on a weekday. Specifically the Tuesday, March 19 from 8:00 p.m.. The monuments burn as the firefighters arrive at each commission. The children’s ones do it first, then, two hours later, the older ones. The last to catch fire are those of the Town Hall Squarewhich they do around 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.. But where are the monuments now? Newcomers to the capital of Turia will ask themselves.

The answer is in the failed programming. The monuments themselves begin to be assembled at the beginning of Fallas week, but there is an exact day to unpack them and place them in their place. Well, there are really two dates. One for the small monumentswhich are known as infantile falla, and another for the older ones, which is the one lit by the major falleras of each commission.

Thursday, March 14, is when the small ones will be finished and on Friday, March 15 at night, the plantà (which is what is called the fact of placing the monument in the street) of the older ones will end. The members of the different commissions and the Fallas artists are in charge of placing the monuments so that everything is ready for the jurors’ visit. If you want to visit the assembly of any of them, these are the ones in the special section, which have a higher budget than the rest:

  • Falla Convent Jerusalem-Matemático Marzal: at the intersection between Convento Jerusalem and Matemático Marzal streets, in the center of Valencia. It is a well-known area because this is where one of the most spectacular Fallas monuments, awarded each year, is located.
  • Plaza del Pilar Falla: in this square, near the Plazas de la Reina and de la Virgen, you will find one of the most traditional and recognized fallas From Valencia. Given the influx of people, this is one of the most complicated points when it comes to burning, because the square is very small and there is little space.
  • Jordanian Fault: on Salvador Giner Street, in the Carmen neighborhood, is where you can find some of the most creative Fallas monuments.
  • Swedish Falla-Literato Azorín: at the crossroads of the streets that give their name to this falla, in the popular Russafa neighborhood, is where some of the most impressive fallaes are placed.

When do they say the awarded failures

The first thing you need to know is that there are several prizes. Four. Two reward the ninot (a piece of the monument that is presented to another competition) and another two the monuments in their entirety. On Thursday, March 17 at 5:30 p.m. it is said which little ninot has won and on Friday at the same time the oldest one. On Friday at 8:15 p.m. the prizes for the children’s failures are announced and on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. those for the large failures.
