I went to Fallas in 2007

I can vouch that it is f**king great

We stayed about 4/5 nights, including the last night of the festival. There are two big firework displays each day - the first is at 1pm i think, and because it's during the day, is all based around making as much noise as possible. the vids on youtube don't really do it justice, they blow the absolute s**t out of the town square. Feels like being in a war zone (i imagine)Then there's another display about 1 or 2 in the morning which is more conventional but also pretty epic. and then on the last night they set everything on fire which is kind of thrilling too.

lots of great bars and food, we went to Mestalla too, which was insane - would be terrifying if you had vertigo. picked a duff game though. didnt make it to the aquarium, it looks amazing.
