Every March, the city awakens with the smell of gunpowder, with streets that become open-air museums and with that joyful bustle that seems to never end. Baltasar Bueno Tárrega takes us, with the curious eye of a chronicler and the pulse of a lover, through the history and soul of the Fallas. Discover where these bonfires that defy the night come from, how the ninots were born, why satire and beauty go hand in hand here. He does so with rigor, yes, but also with that amazement we all feel when we see Valencia burn... and be reborn amid applause. Because that is what the Fallas are: ephemeral art, living memory, and a way of understanding life through color, music, and laughter. An exciting journey to the heart of the most luminous festival in the Mediterranean.
