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 fights20-24th June 2009 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.

FESTIVIDAD OF SAINT VINCENT FERRER 31st March 2009 Easter has its extension with the St. Vincent Ferrer, the patron saint of the Commonwealth.

On 9th October the Region of Valencia Day is celebrated Valencia Events and Festivals in January - Valencia, Spain Moors and Christians Events & celebrations in the Valencia Region in April The Moors and Christians fiestas in honour of San Jorge are held in April in several towns in the Region of Valencia. These events mark the days hundreds of years ago when The Moors where driven out of the various towns and areas of the region by The Christian Monarchs of Spain.In Alcoy (read more) and Banyeres de Mariola, these spectacular and colourful fiestas have been declared of international and national tourist interest respectively. The fiesta lasts for three days: the 22nd is the day of the entradas, when the Christians and Moors enter the town in spectacular parades with thousands of participants, where the fiesta groups or filaes march to lively and dynamic Christian marches and Moorish rhythms. The second day, 23rd April, is dedicated to San Jorge and sees battles between the rival bands with hundreds of kilos of gunpowder creating deafening explosions. Come and live the fiesta, you've never seen anything like it.These events are not to be missed and wherever you are in the Valencia region take an opportunity to see them.MOORS AND CHRISTIANS Los Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) are one of the most widespread festivities in the provinces of Alicante and Valencia, and it is the most visually attractive, showing the unique character of the people and their love of play-acting, dressing up in special costumes, music and gunpowder explosions. The origins of the fight between the followers of the Cross and the crescent moon go way back to the battle of Lepanto, when the enactment was a palace game, that later spread to the streets and squares. The facts were changed in the interests of local history, and made the patron saint the protagonist of the victory or "miracle". In the inland regions, the taking of the holy figure and the conversion of the Moors form the main argument, whilst in the South, around the town of Alcoi, the battle commemorates part of the Reconquest or the defence against the Berber invasion, although the triumphal celebration is dedicated to St.George.

In 1238 Valencia was finally reconquered by the Christian army of King Jaime I, after over 5 centuries of Islamic rule. King Jaime did not just annex the Valencia kingdom to his crown, but in a very generous gesture he established the Valencian Kingdom as an autonomous region, with its own governing bodies and courts. This was the birth of the Valencian Community as we know it, and a source of great pride for the Valencians today. A Traditional family ChristmasValencia, SpainIt's Christmas time!
