Fallas Valencia 2026 - Child Falla Gaeta-Farnals

Artist: Mario Pérez.

Prize: 4th special section.
2nd of talent and grace.

Cost: 37.000 Euros.

"In this falla we discovered that the Valencians are the way we are... because it couldn't be any other way!

We were born amidst gunpowder, paella, and a well-pronounced "che," and that alone leaves its mark, like the melon of Alger or the orange of the Ribera region.
We are cheerful people, who speak with our hands and laugh even when the fireworks start early. We love to debate whether paella should have chickpeas or not (spoiler: no!), and if we don't have a party... we invent one!
Our reputation is established in laughter, friendships, and local festivals. And if anyone asks why we are the way we are, the answer is simple: because we are Valencian, and that's not something you learn... you're born with it!"

Valencia
She is Valencia, and it's true, a celebration, baroque and Mediterranean, yet modern, of the land and the sea. She was you, and me. She is all of us. And you know it... ¡We are as we are!

And what are you?
We have so many good things in this land that you have to choose one... Moors and Christians, mascletà or fireworks, Valencia CF or Levante UD, music band or brass band... And why not choose everything? Hey, of course!

Being on the moon of Valencia:
In the old days, if you weren't careful and they closed the city walls, you'd sleep outside. Now you just get a 'Hey, kid, wake up!'.

The romance of day and night
In Valencia, day and night are in love, and that's why any time is a good time to enjoy our land.
Sorolla's sun
Sorolla looked like a lantern-wielding man shining a spotlight when he painted, because he created such spectacular light!

Moors... or Christians?

Mascletà... or fireworks?

Valencia CF... or Levante UD?

Music band... or Brass band?

It's Fallas Day:
When the sun decides to come out bright, brave, ready to party, and brings warmth and a clear sky... you crave a mascletà, a party and Fallas!

We are for firecrackers:
We have reasons to enjoy fireworks 365 days a year. Baptisms, neighborhood festivals, San Juan, Christmas... We're a blast!

The know-it-all about fallas
A type of Fallas enthusiast who never likes the falla they're looking at. They always find flaws and don't know how to enjoy the Fallas. Poor thing!

The west wind
Imagine opening the oven to check if the rice is ready and getting a blast of hot air in your face. Well, that's it, but 100% Valencian!

The naughty child
That little cousin who won't stop crying because he wants your toy, who throws himself on the floor and is as annoying as a mosquito in your ear!

AU:
The fastest goodbye in the world. It's so short you don't even have time to close your mouth. If you're in a hurry, you say 'Au', and if you want to be cooler... 'au, cacau'.

Small nano
When a kid from the local area is a real kid, he's probably a... nano petano

Tete
It could be your brother, your friend, the first person you see on the street, a distant cousin... or that guy in a tracksuit dancing to techno!

Truc
A card game where the most important thing is to shout loudly, cheat, bluff, and draw the 33 and the spade. Cheat and bet like crazy!

Celebrate
Walking hand in hand, looking at each other shyly, dancing close... giving each other a little kiss... Hey, doing boyfriend and girlfriend things!

My King
DJ Jaime. The number one DJ in the history of the Valencian people. When he comes, he wins everyone over with his charisma!

Our professions
Craft havens that are maintained thanks to the work of men and women of our land.

Out of tune
Someone who's just okay and can't seem to find their way. It's also used to describe someone who's blander than paella without salt.

Tempered
Hey, that'll be wonderful! The more well-groomed, clever, and polite you are, the more you'll feel like Grandma's 'temperate'!

Parish Fixer
He thinks he knows everything by the book. He knows everything because he says he knows it. And nobody even asked him!

Enjoy the fresh air
Grandmas' social network. They bring their chairs out to the front door and find out everything!

Shit-snatcher
To have a wound and have someone poke it with their finger. A person who likes to find fault and constantly annoy you.

Rosemary honey
The most Fallas-inspired rosemary honey can be found at Cendra Digital, where you can see Ángel Romero's photos of the Fallas festival. Sketches and everything!

Barbecue
Fleeing from the fire and falling into the embers... A longaniza, a butifarra, a chorizo, a grill... one destiny... your belly!

Nano
You call your friend 'nano' or 'nana'... And if you say 'ie, nano' everyone will turn around, even the tallest person. Try it!

I can't, I have falla
It could be a rehearsal... it could be a snack... it could be the proclamation... you might have falla and there's nothing else important in the world!

Che
The power button of any Valencian. If someone scares you: 'Che!'. If you drop your ice cream: 'Che!'. If you get caught doing something wrong: 'Che, tú!'
