Tour: 1
These tours can be made in one day, but it's really tired. I recommend tow or three days for the complete tour.
Most of the streets in the city center are closed to the traffic, and that's the reason why it's recommendable using the metro or just walking to get to the center. Be careful when using the busese as many lines are diverted and the duration of the ride is unpredicatable. If you use buses to get to the center, leave them when they are close to the center, about 5 minutes walking. The closer to the center the hardest to move by car or bus and the faster it's walking.
Beginning in the city council square, for example after the mascleá display. As the crowd is leaving the square we can see the Falla Ayuntamiento (city council Falla).
Nearby fallas of special section are 'Convento de Jerusalén' (at the street of the same name) and 'El pilar' (in the El Pilar square), placed as it's indicated in the map.
Special Section Falla. 1a 1b 2a 2b 3a Fallas of that categories.
Data based in the year 2005, categories may vary from one year to another.
Click in the special section fallas to see some pictures.
Falla of Plaza del Pilar is in an small square but it isn't very difficult to find.
The street of Falla Convento de Jerusalén uses to be quite well illuminated. As it's a centrical street you'll probably have the chance of seeing it by night.
Both fallas are very important, made by the best artists, and are always fighting for the first prizes.
From the center we can go to the Nou Campanar and Antiga Campanar Fallas which are a bit far for going walking.
It's a good idea to take the metro at 'Plaza de Espanya' or 'A Guimerá' and take line 1 to the station of 'Campanar'.
