The Fallas of Valencia (Falles in Valencian) are a festival that runs from March 14 (plantà infantil) to March 19 (cremá) with a deep-rooted tradition in the Spanish city of Valencia and different towns of the Valencian Community. Officially they begin on the last Sunday of February with the act of the crida (in Valencian; 'pregón or call', in Spanish).
Currently, this festivity has become a very important tourist attraction, since in addition to being listed as a festival of International Tourist Interest, in November 2016 Unesco inscribed them on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These festivities are also called "fiestas josefinas" or "festes de Sant Josep" (in Valencian), as they are held in honor of St. Joseph, patron saint of carpenters, which was a very widespread guild in the city when they began to be held in the late nineteenth century, and preserved until today, given the importance of the furniture industry in the region.
