October 9 - Valencian Community Day

Description

If your visit to Valencia coincides with October 9, you should know that that day we Valencians celebrate the Day of the Valencian Community.

It is a double celebration, because on the one hand we commemorate the entry of King Jaume I into the city and the end of Muslim rule and on the other hand, the festival of lovers with our local Valentine: Sant Donís.

This year we return to some of the traditional acts of the festival.
