¿Qué hay de comer durante Las Fallas? (What is to be eaten during Las Fallas?)

With the bustling streets, thunderous sounds and joyous cheers there is nothing more satisfying than to see a colourful display of  "la gastronomía valenciana". 

Food is considered as something that is very important and necessary for good health and growth. However the satisfaction gotten or derived from food depends on how good and well the food was prepared and also the quantity of time devoted in the preparation of the food. Likewise los valencianos can boast of a rich gastronomy especially during las Fallas.

Las fallas festival can be fun and very interesting but to enjoy all the events on an empty stomach? Sorry, no can do!

  So if you're a food lover (una persona de buen comer) like me, be sure that you will be satisfied because the Valencian street food during the wonderful festival of Las Fallas is incomparable to no other you know of.

Therefore, as a tourist participating in las Fallas festival, you cannot pride yourself on having enjoyed Las Fallas sin probar  (without testing or trying) any of the special dishes prepared during this festival by los valencianos who pride themselves on a wonderful display of street food and restaurant dishes.
