 It's carnival time! |
Various venues Valencia, Valencia Spain |
Carnaval is a time for fun, feasting and good cheer in Spain. It occurs in the three days before the commencement of Lent, and the whole country celebrates with street parties, drinking and dancing. Carnaval is not as extravagant and wild in Valencia as it is in other cities, such as Tenerife and Seville, but can still be a lot of fun. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Each year on October 9 , Valencia celebrates the conquest of the region by Jaume I in 1238. It is also celebrated as a day commemorating Saint Dionis, the patron saint of lovers. On this day, young men present their ladies with 'mocadoras', which are marzipan figures wrapped up in a kerchief, and sometimes sealed with a ring. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Modernist center of science and technology |
