Full description

Every March, Valencia fills with fallas: huge sculptures of wood, card and paint, some several storeys high, poking fun at politicians, celebrities and everyday life. Neighbourhood committees spend the whole year building them, and on the final night almost all of them are burned in the streets.

On this guided walk, a local takes you to some of the most impressive monuments in the city centre, explains the jokes and the craftsmanship, and introduces the festival’s traditions, from the daily firecracker displays to the flower offering to the Virgin. It is a great introduction before you head out to explore on your own.
