<p><em>Vive la France</em>! A defining date in French history, Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. Today, this event sees the entire country unite in a <strong>palpable display of patriotism</strong>, propelling France’s glorious essence into the stratosphere.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spain</strong></h1>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Las Fallas – Valencia (March 15-19, 2025)</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="667" src="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9156" style="aspect-ratio:3/2;object-fit:cover;width:1024px" srcset="https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395.jpg 1000w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395-300x200.jpg 300w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395-768x512.jpg 768w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395-585x390.jpg 585w, https://blog.travelive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/shutterstock_76697395-263x175.jpg 263w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>It is said that destruction breeds creation — well, the participants of the<strong> Las Fallas festival in Valencia</strong> take that sentiment quite literally. Every year, this <strong>UNESCO-listed practice</strong> invites artists to create close to <strong>400 giant papier-mâché sculptures</strong> (<em>ninots</em>) to be admired by the public and eventually incinerated during <strong>Cremà </strong>on the final night — yes, you read that correctly. Accompanied by the cacophonous <strong>daily fireworks </strong>display of the <strong>Mascletà, </strong>marvel at the colorful figurines as you explore the city’s beautiful architecture and lively street markets, or visit local workshops to find out what it would take to make a <em>ninot</em> of your own.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Semana Santa &#8211; Seville (April 13-20, 2025)</strong></h3>
