Top Spain Carnival in 2026

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.

THIS TOUR IS ONLY OFFERED FROM 13TH TO 19TH MARCH DURING THE FESTIVAL LAS FALLAS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE. This is an exclusive experience intended to highlight and bring closer to visitors the meaning of the stunning Fallas festival. You´ll be able to understand all aspects of the festival, including the artistic and colourful monuments created by artists, the touching flower offering to the Virgin, the awesome fireworks and love of locals for gunpowder and firecrackers or the beautiful outfits inspired in 19th century dresses. Music is embedded in Valencian culture and food is an essential part of the festival too. It is a unique tour that combines culture and tradition, declared Cultural World Heritage Site by UNESCO. One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to a fallero club where visitors could chat to "falleros", the locals who make all this "craziness" possible. In that stop we would drink a typical Valencian drink, cazalla, and taste the delicious "buñuelos de calabaza".

The European Balloon Festival takes place just once a year in early July, so this is your only chance for a hot-air balloon flight during the celebration. With this experience, take an early-morning flight surrounded by 40 other balloons from the festival, soaring over Igualada and beautiful landscapes for roughly one hour. Back on the ground, celebrate with Champagne and your official flight certificate.

Tour Cordoba’s most beautiful private patios during the annual Cordoba Patios Festival with a guide, while learning about the history of this local tradition. Get a peek behind the walls of historic villas and upscale residences to admire the immaculate garden designs and fragrant vegetation. After the tour, stop at a tavern to enjoy local flavors.
