Salutation of the Mayor All festivities have the characteristic and have in common the realization of a work during the course of a whole year, which then finalizes with various manifestations, for the pleasure of its authors and the village. Also all do evoluate in the course of time. Speaking of evolution and "fallas" we have to say something more because changes have been very great. They have passed from being a woodfire made by the carpenters ,to burn up the residues of their works, at the start of their history to being the big structures of wood, cardboard and fabric to which monumental forms are given by authentic professionals actually. With a humoristic tone and the corresponding criticisms alluding inhabitants of the village and themes of actuality, the artist tries to build with a maximum of realism, always wrapped up in caricature, capturing the expectation of the mayority of our inhabitants. All the work done, finalizes as we all know with fire. This is very hard but the people who work in it know this and though they suffer this is the tradition of this festivity decided by the people of the "fallas" and it has to be respected this way. The same respect which I want to manifest as Mayor of the new Village Council ,together with the wish that this festivity might arrive at the utmost corners of our village of Castelló. |
