    Photo Gallery: Valencia Residents and Las Fallas

    On March 16, the main week of the Las Fallas festival began. This week, Valencia residents can attend numerous fireworks shows and the Ofrenda, admire festive sculptures, and celebrate Saint Joseph’s Day. A La Cotorra photojournalist walked through the streets of Valencia — here’s what it looks like.
