The spectacular Las Fallas festival celebrates the coming of springtime. After several days of traditional dancing, music, food, and bullfights, hundreds of huge papier-mâché artworks are burned in the streets. Now that’s a hot party!

    València is easy to love. It’s got sun nearly year-round and fabulous beaches right in town. The local specialty dish — paella — comes in dozens of variations but always seems to be crispy in all the right places (the way authentic paella is supposed to be!). Beautiful buildings and museums surround you and delightful public art has a way of appearing where you least expect it. This is a city that tries hard to please!



    In fact, the trickiest part about living in València is finding time to sleep. You spend the day in your classes at the university—maybe Spanish literature or history, or perhaps a psych or media studies course. A light snack in the late afternoon might be followed by finishing your homework, a siesta, or just relaxing in your dorm with your roommates. Then you go for dinner around 10:00 p.m.—when most places back home stop serving. Afterward, head out on the town with friends and hit València’s famous dance-til-dawn discotecas. Day two: similar story, different socks. So plan to experience a typical student’s life in València, and save the sleeping for your return flight!
