INTERVIEW WITH JON

We’re talking to Jon, a Spanish teacher at Route66 since September 2006.

Tell us something about you!
I’m from Cantabria (the most beautiful region in Spain =)), but I have been living in Valencia for more than three years after having lived through the North of Spain and along Europe.

ENJOY LAS FALLAS (MATTHIAS)

The most important party in Valencia – an experience for me:

- Every day, from the 1st of March on, the mascletà at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento [terrible for the poor dogs ;) ]
- The construction of the Fallas in the streets of Valencia
- Parties during the night
- Noise all the time

For us, as we come from a foreign country, we feel crazy about being part of this party as it’s very different from the ones we have. You can’t imagine so much noise in so many days in Austria. But I liked it a lot. I liked the people enjoying the fireworks, the traditions and the figures. It’s a pity that they’re all burned in one night, but it’s fantastic to watch.
