Feria de Julio...
'Battle of Flowers' ~ 22 July 2007
The fair gradually progressed to becoming the most popular fair enjoyed by all and in 1891 included the now famous Battle of Flowers.
There are many artistic performances which you'll enjoy ranging from ballet to rock groups and including folk music with dances such as the zarzuela.
Concerts at the Palau de la Musica, open air cinema, traditional fiestas and the many sports events which take place on the beach and around the port area of Valencia make this a wonderful time to visit Valencia.
Amongst the line up last year were Bob Dylan, Ziggy Marley and the very popular Spanish singer Jose Mercé.
Amongst the stars appearing this year is the very popular husky voiced Andalucian singer Antonio Orozco and the lovely Pasión Vega.
Bullfights are held in the central bullring for around ten days and every Saturday you'll be amazed at the fantastic Castles pyrotechnicses - firework displays on the beach.
The fair finishes with parades of beautiful floats along the Paseo de la Alameda and the traditional Battle of Flowers when the Valencianas on the floats throw flowers at passers by.
This year it will be held on Sunday 22 July and after will be the mascleta (fireworks).
The heavy scent of flowers fills the air and the street becomes a blanket of beautiful flowers.
The magic of this beautiful city is enjoyed by all during the Valencia July Fair and there are many late night parties held in the warm summer evenings on the beaches of Valencia.
