Similar to Valencia’s northern counterpart Barcelona, the lamp-lit streets of Valencia don’t get busy until after 11pm. Then once the clock strikes midnight the city is in full swing, with bars to cater for all tastes.
The most vibrant part of Valencia is the Barrio del Carmen district, and in particular Calle Caballeros and the side streets which branch off it. Other areas that tend to be populated by the city’s nightowls include the areaw around Plaza Canovas and the city’s university, although both of these aren't as central as Barrio del Carmen.
Valencia is renowned for its festivals and two of Spain’s best-known take place in the city centre and just outside. The first of these is Las Fallas, a celebration of San José (St Joseph) in March. Celebrations take place throughout the month but the third weekend is when the main festivities take place. ‘La Tomatina’ is the other festival Valencia is known for, even though it takes place in a Buñol 45 minutes from the city centre. This is the festival where people destroy each other with tomatoes for the day.
