Where to celebrate Fallas festival beyond the city

Beyond the city of València, many towns and villages across the region keep the spirit of Fallas alive. They celebrate with the same passion - setting off thunderous firecracker displays called mascletaes, hosting lively street parties and making traditional flower offerings. Then, on the night of March 19th, the festival reaches its climax with a breathtaking spectacle of fire as the sculptures go up in flames.

If you’re looking to visit somewhere new yet don’t want to miss out on the magic of Fallas, these towns are perfect places to experience the festival in a different setting.
