 La Tomatina Valencia Fallas The Fallas a week of fun, fireworks and bonfires.

Fiestas and Celebrations in Valencia


Moor and ChristiansThe calendar of popular fiestas is rich and varied in Valencia. Each part of the year has its own celebration and recollection of tradition. The bonfires of SanMoors and ChristiansAntonio Abad come first on the calendar, with burning pyres of firewood and the blessing of animals. Of particular note is the one held in Canals. On March 15th, the Fallas dedicated to St. Joseph take over the streets of the capital and of over 60 other towns in the province. On the appointed day, huge catafalques bearing cardboard figures are erected, to be burnt four days later amid a blaze of fireworks. These are the fiestas which attract the largest number of spectators and arouse most interest among visitors, drawn by the colourfulness of the Passacaglia, the offering to the Virgen of the helpless and the fireworks display.
The Corpus Christi, Fiesta of Moors and Christians and of course, the famous Tomato fiesta "La Tomatina", are other fiestas of Valencia.
