This festival offers the best of everything Spanish fiestas are renowned for. It is centred around gigantic Disney-like monuments called “Fallas”, which criticise almost everything happening in the local, national and international scene, but do so with tongue in cheek and on the last day of the festival (19th March) they are all burnt to the ground!

Another elements of the fiesta are daily spectacular firework displays, concerts, bull fights, free street parties, parades and much more activities to get millions of people enjoying the fiesta during the key festival dates from 15th to 19th March, though the fiesta has already begun for the Valencians!
