The objective of this study has been to investigate the cultural activities of Alzira's Falles committees, its typology and management and also to analyse its potential as cultural agents. A combination of quantitative research (survey with closed answer questions) and qualitative research (personal in depth interviews) has been used. This methodology has allowed us to obtain, on the one hand, objective information that can be translated into statistics and graphics that, for the first time, analyse all the aspects of this phenomenon and, on the other hand, unprecedented information about the motivations, work process and difficulties of those who have carried it out.
