| Cream filled churros |
As we live in Valencia, we hit the streets for
Las Fallas once again this year. Las Fallas festival (celebrated from the 1st to the 19th of March each year) is the city's biggest festival and it is known world wide.
Like any other festival, Las Fallas has its share of food stalls and markets. Of course, heavy drinking is an important part of Las Fallas fun, and there are plenty of stalls and bars all over the city that sell mojitos, caipirinhas and beer at over the top prices. Some call this the Mother of All Parties, and after we've just witnessed last night, we can't argue with that.
A peculiar detail however is that some of these yummy foods (like the buñuelos and the cream filled churros) can only be bought during Las Fallas. Once the festival finishes, all the street stalls disappear and with them, the mouth watering delicacies.

This is mouth watering goodness..
ReplyDeleteReminds me of spain whenever i see amazing pictures of Churros. Always great dipped in hot chocolate like the Bunuelos!
Duncan
Thank you guys, the food was mouth watering indeed (and plenty variety to choose from)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you had me at the cream-filled churros in the first picture! So delicious! That's enough to make me pack up and move to Spain!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the cream filled churros are very difficult if not impossible to find during the rest of the year. They are something to be found only during Las Fallas festival.
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmy! Love Spain!
ReplyDeleteThat all looks sooooo amazing
ReplyDeleteWhy do I always seem to find food photos first thing in the morning! My mouth is watering and I already ate breakfast haha.
ReplyDeleteI love Spain! Food is so tasty there, and cakes are amazing!!It's such a pity that the Festival has already finished...it would have been a great occasion to go to Valencia!!
ReplyDeleteDiana, so love goes through the stomach after all, doesn't it :)
ReplyDeleteEric, thank you. It also tastes amazing :)
Cole, that happens to me too; after breakfast, lunch or dinner.
ReplyDeleteFrancy R, you can come next year. Plus there are plenty of other festival to check out too... OK, maybe not as crazy as Las Falls, but fun nevertheless.
Way to save the best shot for last. Anything with hot chocolate is just heavenly. Your photos were perfectly shot and makes me want to head to Valencia right now and try everything.
ReplyDeleteAlexa, I love hot chocolate too. Unfortunately it would be nearly impossible to find buñuelos now that Las Fallas has come to an end. But the churros dipped in chocolate are pretty much worth the trip too :)
ReplyDeleteThose churros filled with cream look awesome!
ReplyDeleteYum!! I just gained a couple of kilos reading this but it was worth it =)
ReplyDeleteDon Faust, yep, and I would love to know how to make some. I can make some pretty good buñuelos though ;)
ReplyDeleteAndrea, you are hilarious! :D
My God, that food looks crazy delicious! Haha, I think it's kind of cruel that so many of the sweet, delicious delicacies disappear after the festival ends!
ReplyDeleteIt kind of is cruel, LOL :) But this only makes the sweets and the festival even more special ;)
Deletethey all look yummy, you took beautiful pictures. thanks for the interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa! I believe the food is one of the key elements during Las Fallas, or any other festival as a matter of fact ;)
DeleteLas Fallas food seems to be varied, though mostly sweet. I would give anything to be there now!!
ReplyDeleteMostly so, except paella, of course! You still have time to make it to this year's Las Fallas :D
