Las Fallas. To those of you who are familiar with Valencia’s biggest, loudest and most fiery fiesta of the year, these two small words may conjure up chaotic images of flames, smoke, noise and crowded streets.

Visiting Valencia between the 15^th and 20^th of March with the family may not…

I just watched this on TV. Pretty cool. It’s Valencia’s most well known festival. Like our Carnaval. Tonight we had fireworks for the bicentennial. They were ok… Nothing USA. It is cool to be here, in the “Philadelphia of Spain” for such an important historical event. This was the third modern constitution in the world after France and the USA.

Cadiz was pretty much the Philadelphia of Spain, 200 years ago.

Tomorrow is the Bicentennial of the First Spanish Constitution, known as “La Pepa”. It was signed and written here in Cadiz because the rest of the peninsula was inundated with French troops. The king, Juan Carlos II is coming tomorrow. I live in between the town square and the cathedral square. It´s pretty cool to be literally living on top of such a big event. Hoping to get to see the king tomorrow. (I hope I am able to get out of my house - I suppose a lot of people are going to be cramming the streets for a once in a lifetime historical event)

This video is really cool because it shows places that I see everyday.
