Like most of the villages in the Bo\u00ed Valley, the festivities in Erill la Vall involve a torchlight descent from the beacon.\u00a0 The torches are also crafted in the Ribagor\u00e7ana<\/em> style, with four lengths of pine nailed to the end of a hazel pole and bound with wire. The falla is made from green pine that has been cut a few weeks earlier, preferably a smooth pine without too many knots. The beacon is now located at 1,450 m., a place with magnificent views over the valley. Two smaller beacons are erected for those who do not want to make the long journey: one for older villagers and one for the children, the latter at the entrance of the town.<\/p>\n

On the night of the falles, which takes place in July to coincide with the village festival, the torch-carriers climb up the mountain to light the beacon. This is then used to light the falles, which are bring down to the village creating a long line of fire. The Erill falles is one of the best-known festivals due to the route of the descent and the excellent view from the village. Upon arriving at the village, the fallaires break into a run along the Carrer del Tarter to the Pla\u00e7a de Dalt, circling the town several times. The festivities culminate with the lighting of a large bonfire and dancing until dawn.<\/p>\n
