Each region of Spain is so different which also means so are the local traditions. Valencia is mainly known for its annual Las Fallas event. This fiesta takes place from March 15 to 19 on the streets of Valencia, where locals and visitors can experience light shows and fireworks. This festival has such deep roots in Valencian culture that it has even been recognized by UNESCO.

It is believed that the origins of this event date back to the medieval era when carpenters celebrated the first days of spring by burning all the materials they were no longer using. In today’s version, to celebrate this festival, people create big statues or dolls called ninots, made of wood, cardboard, and paper. On March 19, to end the event, these dolls are burnt, starting from the smallest to the biggest ones. Each one of them holds a special meaning, adding significance to this unique event.

Valencia is also the perfect destination for strolls, as it has some of the nicest honey-colored beaches in the region and big parks perfect for an afternoon picnic. This city is a great destination for solo travelers or couples of any age, as well as families with kids.

Know the difference between Valencian and Catalan

While Spanish is considered the lingua franca in the Valencian Community, nearly 30% of the locals are native Valenciano speakers. You will find it similar to Catalan, spoken in Barcelona, but never tell a Valencian that they speak Catalan. It is a very sensitive topic, so it is suggested not to compare the two.

Get the Tourist Card

Make the most out of Valencia by getting the Valencia Tourist Card. With this card, you will get free access and special discounts to several museums and other main landmarks, as well as free public transport rides. You can choose between 3 types of cards: 24, 47, or 72 hours. Make sure you go through your itinerary to see if getting this card would really pay off.
