Overview

Explore the history and traditions of Valencia’s iconic Las Fallas Festival on a guided walking tour.

Start in the heart of the city and discover how a medieval carpenters’ tradition evolved into one of Spain’s most spectacular celebrations. Learn about the deeper meaning behind the festival -renewal, satire, and community.

Understand the significance of the Mascletà - a powerful pyrotechnic “concert” experienced through rhythm and vibration rather than visuals.

With insights from a local guide, walk through the Old City Centre and Ruzafa, see impressive Fallas ninots up close, and learn why each monument tells its own satirical story.
