Each year, the Las Fallas festival in Valencia takes place on the same dates.

The main events run from March 15 to March 19, but numerous events take place in the fortnight leading up to this week.

There are fireworks every lunchtime from the first of the month, as well as parades, shows and other festivities.

Las Fallas Accommodation

Accommodation during Las Fallas can be expensive and will fill up early. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Valencia during Las Fallas is noisy 24 hours a day. If you value your sleep, you'll need to choose your accommodation carefully. Which means either staying a little out of the center of town, or knowing in advance that your hotel has quiet rooms (not facing the street). During my trip to Las Fallas, I stayed at the Astoria Palace.
