What to Eat • Traditional Valencian paella, made with rabbit, chicken, and local beans • Horchata, a refreshing tiger nut drink, often paired with fartons pastries • All i pebre, a local eel stew rich in garlic and paprika

What to Buy • Handmade ceramics and traditional Valencian tiles • Local food products like saffron, olive oil, and horchata mix • Artisan silk items reflecting the city’s historic trade

Take Note • Book tickets in advance for the City of Arts and Sciences to avoid queues https://cac.es/en/rates/ • The old town is best explored on foot due to narrow streets • Lunchtime peak in Valencia is typically later, around 2–3 PM, after that many businesses close for siesta

Know more about your day trip

Yes, plenty. Viewing the Fallas monuments is completely free, and so is watching the Mascleta and the street parades. The burning of the smaller Fallas (infantil crema) on March 18 and the main crema on March 19 are also free to watch from public streets.
Alicante and Valencia are about 111 miles (179 km) apart, and the drive along the AP-7 motorway takes roughly 1 hour and 50 minutes in normal traffic. The route follows the Mediterranean coast, making the journey as pleasant as the destination.
The main Fallas monuments are spread across the city, but the highest concentration is in the city center, which is very walkable. The Turia Gardens offer a calm green corridor through the heart of Valencia, making it a great spot to take a break between the excitement.
Valencia is the birthplace of paella, so trying an authentic version here is a must. Other local favorites include horchata (a creamy drink made from tiger nuts), bunyols (fried dough fritters), and churros. Street food stalls are abundant throughout the festival.
Las Fallas is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage festival held every March in Valencia. It celebrates the arrival of spring through enormous hand-crafted sculptures, nightly fireworks, brass bands, and the dramatic "crema" (burning of the Fallas monuments) on March 19. It's one of Europe's most spectacular street celebrations.
The Mascleta is a daily pyrotechnic display held at 2 p.m. in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento throughout the festival. It's less a visual show and more a physical experience of thunderous sound waves that shakes the ground beneath your feet. Don't miss it.
Mid-March in Valencia is pleasantly mild, so light layers work well. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes since you'll be walking extensively through the city center. Ear protection is helpful if you're sensitive to loud sounds, particularly during the Mascleta.
The main Las Fallas festivities run from March 15 to 19, with the Grand Finale on the night of March 19 (Saint Joseph's Day). However, smaller events and exhibitions begin as early as early March, so even visiting a few days before the finale is rewarding.
