Sahara

The Sahara was a Spanish colony. Spain resigns to have that colony, and it is committed to respect the autonomy and the independence of the Saharauis. Soon after, Morocco decide to invade that territory because they say that it belongs to them. The occupation took place under the name of “the Green March”. Saharauis was expelled from their earth, in spite of facing the army of Morocco. Because of that conflict a displacement of the Saharaui population takes place towards fields of refugees. Was Algeria coverall that welcomed to them and supported them. From there, the representatives of saharauis, the Polisario Front, have dedicated themselves to demand in all the international organisms and Spain in particular that recognize to them as independent country and gives back their earth to them. Now they request a Referendum to vote the independence of the country, but Morocco refuse and meanwhile the town saharaui lives on the aid and international charity in campings in the middle of the desert.

Fallas

My school's "falla"

The "fallas" are a very typical Valencian celebration. Single it is celebrated throughout the Valencian Community and in dates 16, 17, 18 and 19 of March (Saint Jose day's). It consists of four days of much celebration in the Falleros country places, "mascletás", firecrackers, but mainly celebration. Personally I like the "fallas" by the celebration that there is in Valencia during these days. They give prizes to the "fallas" that better are done, although normally they occur* it to the fault that more money has been spent. There are greater falleras of each fault, thing that to my seems to me a stupidity, because it is a very peculiar way to spend the money in a thing that the last day of faults is going away to burn…

Marta, Paula and Me in "fallas"

It's the day of "plantà", the day that mounts the fault, the day of "cridà", when the greater fallera of Valencia (the one of the "falla" of the city council), says to the Valencians that they are united to the celebrations of faults, "nit del foc", when they do a great “castle” and the night of “cremà” when they burn the "falla".
