THIS TOUR IS ONLY OFFERED FROM 13TH TO 19TH MARCH DURING THE FESTIVAL LAS FALLAS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE. This is an exclusive experience intended to highlight and bring closer to visitors the meaning of the stunning Fallas festival. You´ll be able to understand all aspects of the festival, including the artistic and colourful monuments created by artists, the touching flower offering to the Virgin, the awesome fireworks and love of locals for gunpowder and bangers or the beautiful outfits inspired in 19th century dresses. Music is embedded in Valencian culture and food is an essential part of the festival too. It is a unique tour that combines culture and tradition, declared Cultural World Heritage Site by UNESCO. One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to a fallero club where visitors will be able to chat to "falleros", the locals that make all this "craziness" possible. In that stop we would drink a typical Valencian drink.
