Travel blogs of the week
#1 The Fire Parade Of Fallas 2018 - The Burning Is Near!
After taking us to Fallas last week, today we have a chance to be at the last day of the parade and witness the festival of fire from a safe POV. @for91days post is so immersive you will definitely feel like you've been there and experience the show.
#2 Colourful Fallas Sculpture in Valencia, Spain
@jpphotography was also at the Fallas festival and he got to capture an unique sculpture that in his pictures looks so unreal that for a couple of seconds if not minutes you will think it's a computer generated image and won't believe it's an actually styrofoam sculpture.
