2. Cabalgata del Ninot:

La Cabalgata del Ninot es un acto popular que llena las calles del centro de Valencia de color. Se trata de un desfile de disfraces en el que participan todas las Fallas de la ciudad. Las calles se llenan de gente disfrazada, carrozas llenas de colores, música, bailes y petardos.

During the Fallas in Valencia there are many fireworks

3.   Mascletás y castillos de fuegos artificiales:

Del 1 al de 19 Marzo. La pólvora y el ruido son dos de los protagonistas de las Fallas de Valencia, y son una de las principales peculiaridades de esta fiesta. En Valencia hay mascletás todos los días, del 1 al 19 de marzo, a las 14:00 horas, en la Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Respecto a los castillos de fuegos artificiales, los más importantes serán los días 26 de febrero, 15 de marzo, 18 de marzo y 19 de marzo.

4.   Plantà:

La Plantà es uno de los actos más importantes de las Fallas. ¿Has visto las grandes figuras y esculturas de colores que se ponen en las calles durante las Fallas? Pues se llaman “Monumentos Falleros”, y son el origen y el principal eje de estas fiestas.

Hay Monumentos Falleros infantiles (más pequeños) y de adultos. Los primeros se colocan (se plantan, de ahí su nombre) en las calles durante la madrugada del 14 al 15 de marzo. Los segundos, en la madrugada el 15 al 16 de marzo. Cuando todos los Monumentos Falleros están en la calle, ¡dan comienzo las Fallas!

5.   Ofrenda de flores:

La Ofrenda de las Fallas se celebra los días 17 y 18 de marzo por la tarde. Los falleros se ponen el traje tradicional valenciano y llevan flores a su patrona: la Mare de Déu. Con las flores que llevan todos los falleros se construye una imagen de la Virgen de los desamparados que pesa 15 kilos y mide 1,43 metros. La corona con resplandores tiene un diámetro de 2,64 metros. El manto mide 2,50 metros de altura, siendo la altura total de 6,70 metros y pesa unos 525 kilos, sin contar las flores.

6.   Nit del Foc:

El día 18 de marzo, por la noche, se celebra la “Nit del Foc” (Noche del Fuego). Este día, los castillos de fuegos artificiales que hay por toda la ciudad son especialmente largos, bonitos y multitudinarios. Para disfrutar de ellos, puedes acercarte al antiguo cauce del río Turia.

7.   Cremà:

El 19 de marzo es el día más importante de las Fallas de Valencia. A las 18:00 horas, en el barrio de Ruzafa, se celebra la “Cabalgata del Fuego”, un espectáculo callejero muy colorido. Por la noche, se queman todas las fallas.

After being with Taronja for a couple of years now online I decided to take the plunge and do their immersion course in Valencia, which, for a 54 year old, filled me with apprehension !! I have to say it’s one of the best things I’ve done to progress and improve my Spanish, the schools new location was ideal situated at the edge of the old town near the Turia park. The facilities in the building and classrooms were excellent with information screens, whiteboards and air conditioning also there is great chill out space on the ground floor to relax in !! The standard of teaching was excellent with varied topics and wide ranging conversations and discussions with time taken to explain things if you weren’t quite sure or needed clarification on vocabulary or grammar. I had 4 teachers in total, including the conversational workshops, and I can’t praise them enough, they were all absolutely fantastic. I must also give special mentions to the reception and activities teams who were friendly, professional, helpful and a joy to deal with on a daily basis with nothing being too much trouble. All in all a fantastic experience one which I hope to repeat in the future.. Well done Taronja ☺️

I highly recommend Taronja! The school has been around for many years but recently got a brand new facility with brightly colored walls and excellent smart board technology. I had several different teachers, all of whom were excellent, and I found the curriculum very well organized. I especially liked the way the school’s advisors worked with me before and when I arrived to find the perfect placement for me. The majority of the students are young, but as a 50+ student, I’m happy to report I found classmates my age, too, and met some really interesting people of all ages and nationalities. In addition to classes, I took a couple of private lessons that really helped me. A huge plus for Taronja are its activities; every night you can participate in something - totally optional - from walks around the city, to cooking classes, to painting classes … And on the weekend they offer amazing excursions!! All great ways to practice your Spanish and experience Spanish culture. If I went back to Valencia, which I hope to do, I wouldn’t consider any other school. Thank you Taronja!!!

I spent 3 months at the Taronja School and had the best time ever! I started from scratch but the school and its methods taught me Spanish very well. You can make a lot of friends through the activities and experience a lot of culture for a small price. I'd recommend going there for your Spanish studies as well as for the fun.

Estupenda escuela, amables profesores, muchas actividades y una experiencia de vida fenomenal! I did an intensive course at Taronja last summer and all I can say is it was an amazing, unforgettable experience. Everything is organised very well, relaxed study environment and a certain way to make you love the language even more. Very sociable, amusing and the location is just perfect. Not to mention that Valencia is such a lovely place that since then I have been dreaming of moving there for good. I will definitely do a course there again and I would recommend it to everyone :-)))

The school is located in the center of the city and easy to reach by public transportation or by walking. Everybody at the office is friendly and very helpful, they listen and understand your needs. They help you not only with school stuff but also with the matters of daily life and culture. Teachers are always prepared for the classes and they teach with an effective fun way. They understand your level and find out a way to make you understand and learn in a supportive way. Modern methods like internet and interactive whiteboard are used during the classes , which make the lessons flow easily. Grammar , reading, conversation, listening are well balanced. In a week different teachers are teaching in any given class that provides different styles, techniques and accents. Besides regular classes there are more classes to choose from ( like conversation ) according to one’s needs. Every week there are some activities, day trips and social gatherings so one can learn and experience more about the culture. The timetable of classes is constantly rotating hereby assigning a morning class on a day and an afternoon class on another day. Altogether it makes learning Spanish and Spanish culture easy, fun and effective process. Additionally Valencia is a very beautiful city with lovely locals. The city offers almost everything. Thank you all so much.

I’ve studied at Taronja in Valencia for almost 3 weeks now and I already don’t want to leave. The teachers are nice and I felt really welcomed since I first stepped trough the schools doors! Outside of school there are activities organised by the school almost everyday. So don’t bring too many books with you, there will be enough to do here 😉

Spending eight weeks learning Spanish in Valencia has been a rewarding experience. When I first arrived here, I had a patchy understanding of how basic Spanish grammar works, which gave me a false sense of confidence coming into the country. I was placed into a class that was far too advanced for my level, and I quickly discovered that my listening and speaking skills were practically non-existent. It is fair to say that I was completely baffed in my first week of lessons. I eventually moved down two groups, so I could work on my listening and speaking skills. This level was much more enjoyable, as I wasn’t in a permanent state of confusion. I have noticed my progress continue to grow steadily over the weeks. Now, I feel like I have enough Spanish to get by on my own and develop my skill independently. Understanding street chit-chat is becoming easier, watching Spanish T.V. is becoming more enjoyable, and I can usually interpret written texts. The teachers at Taronja are young, fun and competent people. Rather than forcing us to fill out boring and repetitive exercise sheets, they make learning more enjoyable by providing innovative activities and games to keep the classroom engaged. The timetable is constantly rotating, so we can benefit from various styles and techniques of each teacher. Valencia is a truly beautiful city in a variety of different ways. The centre of the city is built around two lively squares, made up of old monuments, statues, restaurants, and constant buzz of passing tourists. The surrounding streets are full of character and are brought to life by the detail of their design, the classical Valencian balconies, and the numerous restaurants. The Turia park is another incredible feature of the city. It used to be a large river flowing through the centre of the city, but people decided to drain it after serious floods in the 1950s. Now, it is a riverbed, which has been converted into a lush garden, where people go to escape the city, exercise and relax.
