Traditional Holi celebrations are at their largest in the Mathura region.

Tips: Holi is known as a carefree festival. You will have marvelous fun if you don’t mind getting wet and dirty in a colorful way. At the end, you will be soaked wet, with color all over your skin and clothes. Be sure to wear old clothes because some of the paint won’t wash out easily. It might be a good idea to rub coconut oil on your skin and hair beforehand, to prevent the color from absorbing.

The Valencian people live their world-renowned fiesta to the maximum of their kind and natural character. They invite you to visit the city and join in this festival, where old things are burnt and reborn from their ashes towelcome a new season like the Phoenix.

The Las Fallas celebration dates back to the Middle Ages. Just before spring, the guilds stopped working at night and burned in front of each workshop the rustic parot (a wooden device used for lighting) in the city streets. To feed the fire, excess winter supplies were thrown into the flames as an equivalent for a spring cleaning.

Like everything, as time passed, traditions have evolved. Today, the effigies are dressed up in costumes: the larger ones are called fallas, the smaller, doll-like ones, ninot.
