The Fallas have once again crossed borders, being set in a unique environment like the Swiss Alps. The town of Ardon, in the canton of Valais, has celebrated an especially emotional edition of this festival, as it was the last after ten years of keeping the Fallas tradition alive far from Valencian lands.
The monument, created by the Fallas artist from Alzira, combined representative elements of Switzerland and Valencia. This fusion of symbols has been a display of cultural brotherhood that has marked this decade of celebrations in the heart of the Alps.
As is traditional, the day included some of the most emblematic acts of the festival, such as the globotà, the gunpowder display, and the Cremà. This act marked the end of a journey that has brought the Fallas spirit to Switzerland.
This farewell, full of emotion, closes a chapter in which Ardon has become, for ten years, a small Valencian corner in the Alps, consolidating a tradition that has united cultures.
