Valencia enters autumn with an agenda full of plans. October will be a great month, with dozens of plans already scheduled and which will concentrate much of the cultural offerings. But November and December, with the arrival of the long weekends and Christmas, will not be left behind.
These are some of the best plans to enjoy autumn in Valencia.
Candlelight
Candlelight returns in autumn to Valencia with batteries charged. A lot of candlelight tributes are waiting for you. From Taylor Swift to Queen, through film classics, among others. Tickets for Candlelight Valencia in autumn are already on sale.
Open House
On October 21, Valencia will host a new edition of the international architecture festival Open House Valencia 2023 (OHV). For 48 hours, the most exclusive buildings in the city will open their doors free of charge to the public.
The Perellonà
From November to January, the Albufera of Valencia experiences a natural phenomenon known as “La Perellonà”. During these months, farmers close the floodgates at El Perelló beach to flood the rice fields, transforming the Albufera into the largest natural lake in Spain.
Concert by Elena Farga
The singer, who gave voice to the success of the Spanish National Football Team in the last Fifa Women’s World Cup, will perform next October at the Mestalla stadium. Elena Farga will give a concert on September 30 and will feature performances by Hey Zury and Hey Zuri.
Sorolla through light
This October, the Bancaja Foundation in Valencia will host the exhibition “Sorolla through light”, an immersive exhibition that will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the work of the Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla. Using state-of-the-art technology that combines sound and moving images, the exhibition seeks to amplify the sensory effect of the painting.
