Madrid has fun, excitement, traditions, festivals, fiestas, bull fights, and the food, music, dance and a lively vibrant populace. Take your choice of what is your fancy.

Valencia

Maybe the city of the future in Spain and Europe. Amazing architecture, fantastic climate and just so much going on from Grand Prix Formula 1 Street Circuit, to the Americas Cup Yacht Races. So much more. The city that was helped to be founded by retiring Roman Empire soldiers is now a much sought after holiday destination.

The Amazing Fallas/ Fires

In March in the Valencia Region and also in July in Alicante, they have huge festivals, everyone dresses up in traditional costumes and they party all through the night steadily burning the fallas, enormous effigies.

The best things to see in Spain. The bands march and play, the streets are filled with noisy raucous people. Their are fireworks everywhere, fireworks so wonderful it's hard to believe.

It's hard to tell from photo's but these are towering figure's some 60-70 foot high and they burn them. It's just such a fantastic spectacle unlike anything else anywhere in the world. The various societies spend all year making these effigies, some are incredibly crude and then they burn them in one night. This is true entertainment in Spain. The Valencia fallas is a massive event and the crowds are huge, try one of the smaller towns in Valencia region such as Denia which is a festival rich town and the fallas crowds not so large but the spectacle is equally impressive. The little one's are well catered for with children's falls being burnt earlier in the evening.

The Alicante version is:-

Las Hogueras de San Juan

including bull fights

20-24th June 2008

Again in Valencia, if you thought the Fallas were incredible then wait until you've seen 'La Tomatina', talk about Entertainment in Spain and the best things to see in Spain, don't wear your best clothes because this is a massive tomato fight in the street and everyone gets smothered in sloppy tomatoes.

La Tomatina

The worlds biggest food fight

Valencia

29th August 2008

No, we're not stuck on Valencia but it is the city and region of Spain which is the best to visit at present and has the most to see and do and has the most events, for instance this year 2008 starts the city F1 Grand Prix street circuit in Valencia, which will be one of the best thing's see in Spain; and after the America's cup yachting event in 2007, it is returning in 2009.

Now have a look at this

No, you haven't been transported to another planet, this is Valencia. The river used to flood every couple of years so they diverted its course and in its place they have created some of the most imaginative buildings and green space on the planet Earth

These buildings contain, concert halls, exhibition halls, auditoriums, aqua parks, huge underwater marine exhibits, children's play areas and just space, yes- space to relax and enjoy being alive.

You can ride on little trains, hire a push bike, play in free areas, enjoy the sunshine and take a gentle stroll in the heart of a wonderful city. This is just such great entertainment in Spain.
