With this Fallas route you will enjoy to the fullest this festival that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site . With your group and your guide you will visit the Barrio del Carmen, the heart of Valencia. Throughout this traditional quarter of the old town you will discover a multitude of fallas of different sizes, some larger, some smaller. In the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, one of the most important and central squares in Valencia, you will see the main and most important fallas of the city, with different displays of giant puppets, competitions, parades and pyrotechnics.

As you walk through the historic centre, where the largest number of fallas are concentrated, you will learn from your guide about the history of Las Fallas and why it is celebrated. You will also pass by other emblematic places such as the Serrano Towers, the Central Market and the Plaza de la Virgen, where the offering to the Virgen de los Desamparados takes place. For two days the falleros and falleras make a small pilgrimage with flowers to pay homage to the patron saint of Valencia. You will see how the flowers carried by the falleros and falleras make up the Virgin's mantle until it is completed.

Enjoy this incredible festival and other cultural activities such as parades, live music and endless activities. Immerse yourself in the fallera culture and try the chocolate or pumpkin fritters .
