This is how Valencians see their flag: as the Reial Senyera (in English, the Royal Ensign). Without a doubt, it is a symbol that speaks of the history of Valencia<\/b>\u00a0and stems from the royal title granted to the city by King Pedro the Ceremonious. In fact, the crown seen on the flag of the city of Valencia has its origin in this historic occasion.<\/p>\n
On October 9, after the lowering of the flag, locals march in procession from the Town Hall to the Plaza de Alfons el Magn\u00e0nim. There, before the statue of the monarch also known as Alfonso El Sabio, the Valencian Anthem is sung.<\/p>\n
After this tribute, the procession returns to the Town Hall where the Reial Senyera is hoisted again accompanied by the sound of honor salutes and the hymn. Stirring stuff, right?<\/p>\n
Lights, gunpowder and the magical atmosphere of Valencia.\u00a0On\u00a0<\/b>the night of October 8,<\/b>\u00a0specifically at midnight, the Turia Gardens will become the scene of the long awaited Fireworks Festival.<\/p>\n
A suggestion: Dine at one of the many restaurants in the city center and afterwards walk until you reach the meeting point of the festival. Enjoy the show at your leisure! In October, evening temperatures in the city are still ideal.<\/p>\n
