expositions, conferences, concerts, sport activities, etc, and small
enough for the visitor to know and enjoy.
Among the many festivities that Valencia has we will mention only the
Fallas - March 16th to March 19th with its fire works and its famous
bullfights and the July Fair - July 18th to July 31st, with its
matchless flower battle and bullfights.

summers to enjoy the beach. It can't get any better!
