A guide to seeing the Special Section fallas in València

The fallas in the Special Section of the festival in València are the monuments you simply have to see during a March visit. They’re the headline act of the Fallas festival, recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These are ephemeral creations on a remarkable scale, with intricate detail and heights that genuinely impress. Come and discover them with us.

How many fallas are in the Special Section in 2026?

This year, nine monuments across València are set to leave you open-mouthed. Our advice is simple: wear comfortable trainers and be ready to walk, because seeing these pieces up close is more than worth it.

If you can, head out on the night of 15–16 March. The atmosphere is something else. The plantà of the Special Section fallas brings a surge of artists, cranes and falleros working through the night, and it’s a scene you’ll want to experience first-hand.
