4. Other plans for winter in Valencia
Unfortunately, the Christmas holidays last only a few weeks. But instead, there are many other things to do after Christmas in Valencia. During the winter, you can take the opportunity to discover the lesser-known side of this city, when the university exam season ends.
For example, you can witness the exhibitions of regional dances that are organized outdoors in the city center, often in the Plaza de la Virgen or even in the Royal Marina: with the Balls al Carrer program, falleros and falleras are thrown to the streets to do these demonstrations, in which rounds of Cant d’Estil often also participate.
No less original and folkloric is the representation of the Tribunal de las Aguas, which takes place on Thursdays at the Puerta de los Apóstoles of the Cathedral of València. It is a recreation of the deliberations of this medieval judicial institution, one of the oldest in Europe, in order to settle disputes between irrigators from the Valencian garden.
And taking advantage of the great interest that is arousing in society in recent times, you can go, of course, to the City of Arts and Sciences. And in particular, to one of its most emblematic buildings: the Hemisferic. During the winter, it maintains a rich program of 3D projections, with themes as varied as space or wild nature.
