Valencia Las Fallas

Las Fallas in Valencia

Most international of our parties, changes the entire city of Valencia during the month of March, from the moment when, from the Torres de Serranos, the Crida (the Sunday closest to March 1) invites all the world to participate in the party.

 

But the big days come from the night of 15th, with the "planting" of the more than 500 monuments of papier mache. The floral offering to the Virgin of the Helpless on the days of 17th and 18th, the mascletás of the Town Hall Square, the fireworks and daily awakenings, make the series of events in this largest of street parties, that comes to a close on the evening of 19th, Feast of San José, with the spectacular Crema, the burning of all the Fallas. 

 

Many other Valencian towns celebrate with great enthusiasm this spectacular satirical celebration. If you can´t make it into Valencia city then the following towns also have very good celebrations of Las Fallas: Gandia, Alzira, Xativa and Torrent.
