If you do not know the festive reality of the Valencian Community, the reader is likely to have the perception that only Valencia capital celebrates Fallas. Only in this city are Fallas monuments planted (700 of them large and small), "mascletaes" are celebrated every day, the Offering of Flowers to the Virgin is made, tents are set up or night parties are held during the Fallas week. It may even happen that they believe that only in Valencia tens of thousands of men and women dress as falleros, with costumes that comply with the protocols of the best tradition.
But it is a serious mistake. Because in addition to Valencia, more than a hundred Valencian cities, large and small, also celebrate the Sant Josep festivities, with the same ingredients, and the same passion, that are advertised in the capital. That is to say, they also plant Fallas monuments, perform "mascletaes", men and women also dress up and fun is guaranteed with the profusion of parties and festivals.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are towns where the Fallas mobilize almost all the residents, generating a spectacular "fallas" climate. With the advantage of being able to enjoy it without the crowding that occurs in Valencia, especially in the city center. And, most importantly, with better accommodation prices.
Contrary to what one might think, Fallas are not only celebrated in towns in the province of Valencia, there are also them in towns in Alicante and Castellón, despite the fact that the people of Alicante later in June celebrate their "Fogueres" and the people of Castellón their festivals of the Magdalene. One of the routes that are beginning to be liked by many tourists is to visit Valencian towns that celebrate Fallas that allow you to discover, with the excuse of the festival, the particularities of each of these places.
