Exploring Valencia during the Fallas Festival
While we were planning our trip to Spain, we decided to visit Valencia after our stays in Madrid and Alarcon. While looking up hotels, we were oddly surprised by how expensive the rooms were for a random night in March. Upon further investigation we discovered that the dates we had chosen fell during the Fallas Festival. Upon even further investigation of what the Fallas Festival was, we decided to extend our stay by a day to see it through to its conclusion. What is the Fallas Festival you may be wondering?
Staying at a medieval castle in Alarcon, Spain!
After spending 48 hours exploring Madrid and walking almost 20 miles, we picked up our rental car and drove 2 hours southwest to Alarcon. Alarcon is a tiny town on a hill, surrounded by a river. The entire town sits inside mediaval walls and there’s a castle, which you can actually stay at!

After spending 5 days in my home counry of Scotland for a cousins wedding, we jumped on an EasyJet flight and headed to Spain! This was Tim’s first ever EasyJet flight and thankfully it went smoothly. Both of our bags we allowed in the cabin so we didn’t have to check anything which was nice!
