Nit in Vela is Valencia's answer to the White Nights that have taken pace in other European cities, such as Rome, Paris, Madrid and Barcelona in recent years.

On the 31st of March, from 8pm, for over eight hours several of the major thoroughfares and plazas, and particularly the Rio Turia, Valencia's wonderful Park, will see over thirty spectaculars. From theatre to music to dance to acrobatics and fireworks. It's all to celebrate the beginning of the America's Cup, which takes place from April to July in the port.

It is a music festival held every year in Benicassim, which is around 50 miles north of Valencia on the coast. It attracts around 35000 people, with bands as diverse as Franz Ferdinand, Madness, Placebo, Soulwax, and Rufus Wainwright. I recommend it as it is the best organised festival that I have been to. There is a diversity of music, good facilities, free camping and 3 miles of beach. There is a great atmosphere at the venue, with around 60% of people Spanish, 30% British, and 10% from other European countries. A 3-day pass costs £99 and flights from the UK are £100 approx to either Valencia or Barcelona. It is like a combinaton of Glastonbury and Ibiza, and there is generally a great vibe!
