La Massana

The falles of La Massana are celebrated following the model of the Principality of Andorra, with the falles that roll. A few days before, they meet to build the faults and do the baptism of fire for those who participate for the first time in the faults the baptism of fire. The parade leaves the old cemetery, accompanied by grallers and tamborilers (traditional instruments). Then there is a witch dance by the Esbart Valls d’Andorra and in the parking lot behind the schools there is the final burning of faults and lighting of the bonfire.
