Las Fallas 2010Does the smell of gunpowder and the sight of flames excite you? If so then Las Fallas de Valencia is your kind of event -a loud, smoky, rowdy fiesta where the whole town is literally set ablaze! Las Fallas is undoubtedly one of the most unique and crazy festivals in Spain. What started as a feast day for St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, has evolved into a 4-day, multifaceted celebration of fire - so if this is what lights your fire then get in touch with GOBUS and start planning your arrival! |
LAS FALLAS 4 DAY ACCOMMODATION PACKAGE
Wednesday 17th March:
Arriving early is not a bad idea as today is St. Patrick’s Day after all and there is a fantastic Irish pub in town that will be partying all day! You will also undoubtedly stumble across the massive procession of floral offerings to the Kingdom of Valencia's patron saint, Our Lady of the Forsaken. This is considered one of the Fallas week's central events and all the Fallas committees present bouquets of flowers to the enormous image of the Virgin which stands in the centre of the plaza named after her, overlooked by her basilica.
This evening we invite the group together for some warm up drinks and an information session where you will receive your welcome packs including a Valencia city map, souvenir tour T-shirt and authentic festival scarf. After the meeting we will then head out to sample the famous Valencian nightlife and Fallas street parties! Welcome to Valencia's biggest annual fiesta!
Friday 19th March :
The grand finale starts at midnight with the burning of all the Fallas in Valencia except for the winning one which is saved until 12.30! To end the evening (now early hours of the morning!) there is an aerial fireworks display in the main plaza.
Saturday 20th March:
ESSENTIAL INFOTwo weeks before departure, a pre departure letter filled with tips, tricks and info will be emailed to you.
