Three candidates run for Falleras Mayores of the Camp de Morvedre federation
The Sagunto Fallas Federation now knows the candidates for Fallera Mayor and Junior Fallera Mayor for the 2026-2027 term, to be chosen on 23 May.
The deadline for interested falleras to put themselves forward to represent the Camp de Morvedre Fallas has now closed. At the extraordinary assembly of the Sagunto Fallas Federation (FJFS) presidents, held on 12 May, the official candidates were announced. For Junior Fallera Mayor only one candidate stood, the child María Pozuelo Martín, from the AC Falla El Romano of Sagunto. For Fallera Mayor of the FJFS there are two candidates: Carmen Cantón Manzano, from the AC Falla Vila de Faura, and Empar Ríos Sánchez Mellado, from the Falla El Palleter of Puerto de Sagunto (coastal district). The vote will take place on Saturday 23 May: at 7:00 pm the mayor of Sagunto, Darío Moreno, will phone the winning candidates. The Valencian Fallas (a UNESCO-listed fire festival held in March) have been on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List since 2016, and the Fallera Mayor presides over the festival’s main events (Wikipedia). The federation itself reported this on fjfs.es.
