In Benidorm we are in Fiesta; the light, color and
fire ... above all the fire,will floods the streets of our town for a
few days. From this hospitable town we invite you to fully live and
experience the Fallas, undoubtedly our most internationally known festival.
For five days the castles, monuments and “mascletaes” become the
protagonists of Benidorm, where the smell of gunpowder is interspersed
with the smell of flowers and the music of the bands with the sound of
masclets. A transformation that occurs as a prelude to spring, and on
March 19, everything ends and everything begins; with the last of the
ashes people start to dream of Fallas again for the following year.
This excellent Valencian fiesta takes place in Benidorm from the 14th to March 19th, the festivity of San José.
There are three Fallas Commissions: Falla “Centro”, Falla “Rincón” and Falla “Els Tolls”,
which are responsible for creating their Fallas constructions in their
respective districts and organise the fiesta. Parades, and flower
offering are the most significant events, culminating in the feast day
(the 19th) with the "cremá" (burning of the fallas).
The six children’s and adults versions of monuments are burned at different times for people who want to view all the burnings
The adults version are burned at 00:00h (Falla "Rincón"), 00:30h (Falla "Centro") and 01:00h (Falla "Els Tolls").
