Spanish language students had the chance to participate in an
extraordinary event in Valencia
Valencia. Those Spanish language students that booked their holidays at
the right time were especially lucky. Because they were allowed to experience
the joy that occurred as Unesco announced the declaration of Fallas as Cultural
Heritage. The Fallas do not only attract a mass of tourists, but
also many curios Spanish people and this tradition is now officially safe in
the future – certainly, this must be celebrated! The Spanish students could
take part in an exciting program, established to impress the spectators and to appreciate
the recent decision. It was a unique possibility for the students to see and to
live the Spanish culture and the Spanish jollity.
Therefore, Valencia celebrated the whole Sunday. In the afternoon, the
program started: many important persons as the president of Valencia, his
vice-president and other relevant persons for the Fallas hold speeches, which
was followed by an audiovisual demonstration and an impressive speech in many
different languages. Additionally, a great firework display fascinated the
spectators and, in particular, the language students.
For a great ending, the “Cremà” of an especially built
Falla was planned. The Falla had been in public since Wednesday and should now
– as the tradition says – be burned. Mostly, it is a very special event and the
Spanish students were fascinated and impressed by the whole program. Normally,
one can see such a burning only during the Fallas celebration in March, as they
show some kind of new beginning and new hope when everything old gets
destroyed.
This way, language students of the Spanish language school Costa de
Valencia got the
chance to participate in this extraordinary event. With new international
friends they could follow the Spanish Fiesta and – quiet “on the go” – learn
more Spanish. To conclude, a very special time for the language students!
