http://goo.gl/o7vhM0 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.

Las Fallas 14-19 March
Valencia Spain
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 to welcome 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. You can promote this blazing festival to your customers through the link below:
http://goo.gl/Tlyh4c Tips: The participants dress up in traditional clothing, neighborhood bands play
and people dance and offer flowers to the Virgen de los Desamparados, Valencia’s patron saint. So bring flowers and be ready to dance. Fiestas extend well into the night with live music, frequent explosions, and frenetic dancing. Don’t expext to get any sleep during this Festival.
