| Las Fallas de Valencia |
 |
The Fallas festival in Valencia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast is probably the noisiest of Spanish festivals with a week of fireworks and bonfires.
This usually tranquil city sees its population increase to over 2 million as people arrive to enjoy the festivities.
The “Fallas” or “Ninots” are huge papier mache caricatures of famous national and international characters that are built throughout the year before being displayed in the many city squares of Valencia for five days and then on the night of March 19th (the night of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters!), they are burnt as the city turns into an inferno of noise and fire.

| Dates: Festival March 15-19 every year

| Semana Santa Holy Week |
 |
"Semana Santa" - Holy Week, although celebrated all over Spain, is perhaps better known in Malaga and Seville, where the Passion of Christ and its various stages are shown in beautifully realistic sculptures that are carried on ceremonial thrones called "Tronos", accompanied by the ‘nazarenos’, members of the different brotherhoods. In Malaga these heavy tronos are carried by dozens of men, and pass through the streets all evening long, till the Virgins and their respective thrones, are put away again till the following year.
