Are you going to Valencia the upcoming week? If not, book your
Valencia accommodation quickly, so you don't miss the Fallas celebrations that start on 15 March and go on until Easter break. A tradition that is said to have started in the Middle Age is now the most popular event taking place in Valencia. Starting on March 15, huge ninots, wich are figures mainly portraying Saints, but also film figures, sometimes politicians or stars, will be put up in town. At the same time, daily fireworks make for a festive feeling in Valencia. All people from Valencia get the whole week off work or school to celebrate. Thus, the atmosphere in the city is one of a kind. The grand Finale of these celebrations is the burning of the ninots. Participating or coming a bit earlier to see the ninots is the ultimate holiday experience. Contact Perfect Sun Travel for your
Valencia Hotel. For more information on the Falles, you may turn to the official
Falles Valencia 2008 Homepage.
Happy Saint Joseph's Day!
