The Valencia region is famous for its festivals including the Fallas festival in March and the Tomatina festival in the town of Bunol. Also there is the Formula 1 Grand Prix that takes place in Valencia and of course Americas Cup. During the summer seldom a week passes without the sight of fireworks celebrations being visible from the balcony of the Casablanca, and sometimes on a weekend several displays can be seen in a single night.
