In <strong>Benidorm</strong> 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 <strong>the Fallas</strong>, undoubtedly our most internationally known festival.<br />
<br />
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 <strong>Fallas</strong> again for the following year.<br />
<br />
This excellent Valencian fiesta takes place in Benidorm from the 14th to March 19th, the <strong>festivity of San José</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>There are three Fallas Commissions: Falla “Centro”, Falla “Rincón” and Falla “Els Tolls”</strong>,
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 19<sup>th</sup>) with the "<strong>cremá</strong>" (burning of the fallas).<br />
<br />
<strong>The six children’s and adults versions of monuments are burned at different times for people who want to view all the burnings</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The adults version are burned at 00:00h (Falla "Rincón"), 00:30h (Falla "Centro") and 01:00h (Falla "Els Tolls")</strong>.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 18 restaurants participating in the <b>I Rice Week in Benidorm</b>,
from <b>15th to 21st October</b>, will offer a selection of rice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recipes traditionally
prepared in some cases, or other risky touches. Rice with dolphinfish, cod and
cauliflower, anchovies and spinach, onion and pumpkin, or rabbit and snails will
be part of the menus of these establishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this delicious proposal deserves whet your
appetite before. In this great city of Alicante, next to the Nature Park of
Serra Gelada, you can enjoy a tour in its streets and squares of the old part of
the town. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Places like the beautiful Mirador, an icon of Benidorm, or the Church
of San Jaime and Santa Ana provide the most tourist city in the Region of
Valencia with charm. Discover Benidorm and its restaurants.</div>

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This excellent Valencian fiesta takes place in Benidorm from the 14th to March 19th, the festivity of San José.<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
The six children’s and adults versions of monuments are burned at different times for people who want to view all the burnings.<br />
