Las Fallas Festival in Valencia

Las Fallas Festival in Valencia is not for the faint hearted.  It kicks off in March with much sound and fury in celebration of both the end of winter and St Joseph's feast day.  A stay in the city to join in the fun can be booked with us - flying from London Stansted on 17 March and with 2 nights in a well-placed 4 star hotel, at a price of £307 per person.

Whilst renowned for its bold, futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia keeps in touch very much with its history and traditions.  At 2pm on every day of the festival [15-19 March] firecrackers are set off, with neighbouring groups competing for the most impressive volley.  Displayed on every corner all over the city are huge, colourful paper-mache sculptures.  In the final stages these are paraded through the streets and finish up in a blaze of glory in a grand finale complete with fireworks.

The 4 star Melia Valencia Hotel is adjacent to the City of Arts and Sciences and offers an excellent spa, including a dynamic pool and Turkish Bath, a terrace and garden and highly rated cuisine.  All the attractions of the city, traditional and modern, are easily accessible. 

The price from £307 is per person based on two sharing 2 nights accommodation on a room only basis and includes return from London Stansted.
