Fallas 2008

The madness has ended.

Fallas 2008 was a good one: 19 days of festivities including 4 nights of fireworks, street parties, paella and setting fire to things. The concluding night saw us moving from plaza to plaza taking in the bands and DJs, buying cans of beer from crusties with freezer bags, talking to randomers, eating churros and chocolate, dodging firework battles, dancing to the music outside someone’s window with a thousand other people, drinking chupitos in a Scottish bar at 7am and finally helping the brass bands and firecracker throwers wake everyone up at 8am. Thanks to everyone that came over to help us celebrate. Here’s to 2009!

After all that we needed some R&R, so we headed to the mountains near Cuenca for some fresh air and banger-free tranquility.
