Fallas Festival in Calp

Next Saturday 28 January, 2012 will be held in Calpe the presentation  of the Falleras (Fallas Fiestas Queens) of 2012 in the auditorium of the  “Jaume Pastor i Fluixà” Casa de Cultura of Calpe at 19:00 hours.

This act opens the Calpe Fiestas season of  2012  and is considered the official kick-off of Fallas (Fire Fest), which  will be held from this year  16 to 19 May.

The “Calp Vell” Fallas organization committee will be on charge of the organization of this event after a particularly special 2011 Fallas organization with a

fabulous monument located in the Constitution Square. Tha monument was called “Sistemas” and was a product of the effort and imagination of Fallas artist Fran Fallas Santonja.

In addition the “Calp Vell” committee  is organizing the events for Saint Joseph day (19 March), including the “Awakening” party with fire crackers and parades, marching bands, the “Sardinà” (sardine barbecue served with sangria), a giant paella and a Mass in honor to the saint.

In early March we will inform you the complete program of 2012’s Fallas Fiesta in Calpe.
