Top Tips for Enjoying Las Fallas in Valencia
1. Bring Ear Plugs
Las Fallas is famous for its incredibly loud fireworks and “mascletà” displays, where powerful firecrackers create explosive rhythms throughout the city. Ear plugs are highly recommended, especially during daytime fireworks events and evening celebrations, to make the experience much more comfortable.
2. Wear Comfortable Shoes
You’ll spend plenty of time exploring Valencia on foot, wandering through lively streets, festival squares and viewing the impressive Fallas sculptures across the city. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for making the most of the festival atmosphere.
3. Be Prepared for Crowds
Las Fallas attracts visitors from all over the world, creating a vibrant and busy atmosphere throughout Valencia. Keep personal belongings secure and plan a little extra time when moving around the city, especially during major events and fireworks displays.
4. Try the Local Food & Drink
The festival is the perfect opportunity to sample authentic Valencian cuisine. Enjoy traditional paella, sweet churros with chocolate and the famous local cocktail, Agua de Valencia, whilst soaking up the lively atmosphere in the city’s bars and cafés.
5. Stay Up Late at Least Once
Some of the festival’s most spectacular moments happen after dark, when Valencia lights up with incredible fireworks, illuminated streets and celebrations that continue late into the night. Experiencing the city in the evening is an unforgettable part of Las Fallas.
For a city break to Valencia during Las Fallas in March, it’s best to pack comfortable layers suitable for mild spring weather, busy festival days and cooler evenings. The festival involves lots of walking, outdoor events and fireworks displays, so comfort is key. Here are some recommendations:
Clothing
Light Layers: T-shirts, long-sleeved tops and light jumpers are ideal for daytime temperatures which are usually mild and pleasant.
Jacket or Coat: Evenings can feel cooler, especially when attending late-night fireworks displays, so a light jacket or medium-weight coat is recommended.
Comfortable Trousers or Jeans: Perfect for sightseeing and festival activities throughout the day.
Casual Evening Wear: Valencia has a lively dining and café scene, so pack a few smart-casual outfits for evenings out with the group.
Waterproof Jacket or Umbrella: March weather is generally pleasant but occasional showers are possible.
Footwear
Comfortable Walking Shoes: Essential for exploring Valencia’s streets, viewing the Fallas sculptures and attending festival events. Expect plenty of time on your feet.
Trainers or Supportive Shoes: Ideal for long festival days and navigating busy city streets comfortably.
Accessories
Ear Plugs: Highly recommended for Las Fallas. The festival is famous for extremely loud fireworks and “mascletà” displays, which can be intense even from a distance.
Sunglasses: Useful during sunny daytime sightseeing and outdoor events.
Small Backpack or Crossbody Bag: Handy for carrying essentials safely while exploring busy festival areas.
Scarf or Light Shawl: Useful for cooler evenings and outdoor celebrations after dark.
Other Essentials
Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important during long days of sightseeing and festival activities.
Portable Phone Charger: You’ll likely take lots of photos and videos during the celebrations and fireworks displays.
Hand Sanitiser & Tissues: Useful during busy public events and crowded festival areas.
Valencia during Las Fallas is lively, colourful and busy, so dressing comfortably and being prepared for long days outdoors will help you fully enjoy this unforgettable festival experience.
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.
The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff of approximately EUR 20.00. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
