In today’s post we talk about the main acts and events of the last days of the Fallas of Valencia 2022. Take a look at the blog of our Spanish language school, El Rincón del Tándem, to make plans for this weekend of Fallas 😊
In today’s article we will talk about the programme of the Fallas of Valencia 2022. Although the celebrations started at the beginning of the month, the next few days represent the climax of the most representative festival of the city.
So that our Spanish course students don’t miss the opportunity to get to know Valencia’s biggest festival, we leave below the calendar of the main events.
Let’s go there!
