Las Fallas – Valencia in celebration

Valencia's Las Fallas 2027
Las Fallas: beyond words.
Valencia's Las Fallas (Falles), a world-renowned celebration declared an event of international tourist interest, is the city's most important festival. From 14 to 19 March each year, Valencia's days and nights become a continuous celebration, with 385 papier-mâché figures up to 30 metres high on display, surrounded by the well-known “ninots”, before they are burned during La Nit de la Cremà, the closing ceremony. These satirical figures address a wide range of subjects, above all current political and public affairs.
Another inseparable part of Las Fallas is the mascletà: an extraordinary sound spectacle in which thousands upon thousands of rockets and firecrackers are set off daily in the town hall square, from 1 to 19 March at 2 pm, creating an immense display of gunpowder and explosions like an earthquake.

Around Valencia

Albufera Natural Park
Valencia's natural parks.
About 10 km south of Valencia city lies Albufera Natural Park, known to the Romans as “Nacarum Stagnum” (Lake Nacarum) and to the Arabs as the “Mirror of the Sun”. This “little sea” – a coastal lagoon barely 1 metre deep and covering 23.94 km², surrounded by rice fields – is separated from the sea by a narrow coastal strip of sandy dunes and pine trees. It is a distinctive, unique setting, especially for watching migratory birds, some of which are endangered. This natural park also has great ecological value because of its distinctive flora, fauna and environment, between the mountains and the sea. A place to walk, explore and enjoy nature.

Gandía
Sun and beach.
Gandía lies 65 km south of Valencia. One of Spain's leading tourist destinations, it is famous for its 7 km-long beach with clear water and for its lush natural surroundings. A birthplace and benchmark of Valencian cuisine, its excellent restaurants are complemented by the appeal of centuries of history. Most hotels in Gandía are along the coast, many with direct beach access. Here you will find an excellent choice of every type of hotel for this destination.

Sagunto
The fortified city.
North of the province of Valencia lies Sagunto (Sagunt in Valencian). This city of Iberian-Edetan and Hispano-Roman origin has a wealth of history, reflected in its beautifully preserved Roman, Arab and medieval monuments. As a fortified city, its walls, castle and strategically important port have made Sagunto the setting for countless famous battles that have shaped this cherished city and Spain's history. Sagunto is impressive and deserves to be explored in detail, even studied. Its well-known festivals, held throughout the year, add to this interesting visit. The beaches around the city are also especially noteworthy, both for their quality and for the ecologically valuable belt of dunes that surrounds them.

Játiva - Xàtiva
Moors and Christians.
Part of the Camino del Cid route, Xàtiva is another magnificent city with a rich history, crowned by an impressive Islamic-Gothic castle declared a National Monument, from which the views stretch endlessly. A city of battles and conquests throughout its long history, it bears deep Roman and Muslim traces that can be seen across the city.
Enhance your stay in Xàtiva by enjoying a traditional rice casserole with pork, or pumpkin and almond pastries, and take an occasional trip to the nearby, spectacular Albaida Valley.
