Moros y Cristianos de Villajoyosa

June
Noche de San Juan
Noche de San Juan (St. John's Eve) is Spain's most magical night. On 23 June, beaches and towns across the country light up with bonfires as millions of Spaniards celebrate the summer solstice with fire, sea, and ancient rituals. It's one of those rare festivals that unites the entire country in celebration.
March
Las Fallas
Las Fallas is one of Spain's most spectacular and UNESCO-recognised festivals — a stunning combination of art, fire, music, and Valencian pride. Every March, the city of Valencia fills its streets with hundreds of enormous satirical sculptures (fallas), only to burn them all to the ground in a magnificent midnight inferno on the final night.
