The Fallas are lived in the streets; take care of them as if they were your home

During the Fallas you are not just a visitor: you are part of the celebration
Your attitude matters. Respect coexistence rules, take care of the city and actively collaborate so the celebration is safe for everyone.
Share on social media, but always responsibly
The way you share your experience also protects the celebration, the people, and the values that make it special.
Gunpowder is a Valencian tradition; using it carefully is your responsibility
• Use pyrotechnics only in designated areas and avoid gardened or sensitive spaces.
• When using pyrotechnics, keep your distance from other people and buildings, and respect urban furniture.
• Avoid unnecessary risks: do not manipulate firecrackers or combine their power.
• There are also quiet moments during the Fallas: from 09:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00. Respect them.
During the Fallas, move without leaving a trace
Get around on foot, use public transport or bicycles, and always respect traffic rules.
In case of emergency, don’t hesitate: call for help
If you detect a risky situation or need assistance, notify security personnel or call 112.
Enjoy the Fallas with excitement, but from a safe area
Follow the instructions of authorized personnel and stay behind the fences and marked areas during pyrotechnic and crowded events.
