TOMATINA

 During the whole month of July, under a bright sun, we have the "Feria de Julio" with plenty of daily activities such as concerts, open air cinema, bullfights, etc. Out of the many other festivals happening in our region, one of the most original is the world-famous "Tomatina", a festival held on the third week of August in a village very near Valencia in which, after a night of drinking and dancing, everybody gets involved in a peacefully wild " Tomato War "!!

 Probably due to our sunny and warm climate, Valencians are kind and happy people, always willing to help the foreign students in any situation.These are only some of the features which have contributed to Valencia being chosen to celebrate the most important sailing event in the world, the America's Cup , in 2007. As you can see, Valencia is a perfect city to spend some time learning Spanish and having fun while you speak Spanish all the time!
