The above image of the street lights for Fallas 2018 might look insane, but it still doesn't capture the feeling of actually watching the performance. A spectacle of sound and light is held every evening, several times until midnight.
These lights are set up by Italian companies who are hired every year to come up with amazing new LED arrangements. And they're true pieces of art. Below, you can see the setup of the lights ... these pictures are from three years ago, but the concept is the same.
These setups have always included thousands of light bulbs, but they've also recently started to integrate computer controlled LED elements. It's jaw-dropping, what this technology is capable of, and I can't wait to see what they come up in the years to come. I bet the future will be very bright for the Fallas Street Lights of Russafa.
The video and the gifs are from the streets lights of Cuba-Literato Azorín, which were the most entertaining this year. Traditionally, three commissions compete in the neighborhood of Ruzafa. Cuba-Literato Azorín didn't win this year, since they didn't follow the new noise regulations.
A big thank you to @rebeccaontheroof and @jpphotographyfor coming out after the Steemit Meet-UPto gawk at the lights with us. If you watch the video below, you'll gawk too: this is from the first part of the show. If you'd like to read more about this craziness, check out the Fallas street lights articleon our Valencia Travel Blog.
That's one crazy light show! Beautiful in a weird kind of way. Fallas really seems like a must-have experience.

This is dope!!! Doesn't even look like real life!! Crazy cool. I'm attracted to bright colors though so I could literally probably stare at these for at least an hour and not get tired of it haha

The Fallas Festival is a photographers dream - And had many aspects and events and they're all different. Fallas was the main reason we fell in love with the city! So much, we decided to make it our home when we're not traveling.

Valencia is lovely and has great beaches and mountains surrounding it. If you're planning to come for Fallas next year start booking your accommodation as soon as you can. Shared dorm room a hostel can easily spike up to 120 Euro per night during the main days (March 15th - 19th).
