At midnight, between the 15th and 16th of March, fireworks explode all over Valencia. The longer display is of course the one in Plaza del Ayuntamiento, while the others are normally a bit shorter.

Best spots to watch the firework displays

If you can find yourself in Plaza del Ayuntamiento before the start of the show, you’ll get a good view. But remember that the square starts to fill up quickly, so go there early if you can. If you want an excellent spot to see the show, hotels and apartments rent rooms with a view of the square.
