February: Carnival
According to Christian tradition, devout believers must fast for forty days before Easter each year. In the week leading up to this, people wear masks and dress up as clowns, giants, monsters, or mythological figures, taking to the streets to celebrate with abandon.
March: Valencia Fallas
This is one of the most spectacular festivals in Spain. The Fallas originated from a Mediterranean superstition; to drive away spirits from their homes, people would burn old furniture or other items on St. John's Day. Over the years, this superstitious culture has transformed into a famous tourist event in Valencia.
