Valencia changes pace when the Fallas arrive: firecrackers set the rhythm at midday, marching bands fill the streets with music and the Fallas monuments turn every walk into a different route through the city. During these days, staying in a hotel in Valencia for the Fallas means you can head out early, return to rest whenever you need to and immerse yourself in the celebrations again as evening falls.
The Fallas are Valencia’s biggest festival, bringing together ephemeral art, satire, music, tradition and fireworks. The monuments are made up of figures known as ninots, which remain on display in the streets until the Cremà, the spectacular burning that brings the festivities to an end. Some of the most iconic moments include the mascletà, the Plantà and the Ofrenda de Flores.
