Its cultural legacy is extraordinarily popular, rich and diverse and, in some cases, stretches back to very ancient times, making the local festivals one of the indisputable main attractions of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city fair, or <\/span>Fira de X\u00e0tiva<\/span><\/i>, has been celebrated since the year 1250. The Corpus Christi procession is one of the oldest in the Region of Valencia. Add to these the <\/span>Semana Santa<\/span><\/i> or Holy Week celebrations, and the iconic festivities of Las Fallas, and you have an amazing annual programme of festive events made possible thanks to the participation and dedication of the local population. To wander the streets and squares of X\u00e0tiva during one of these festivals is an unforgettable experience, a real treat for tourists and residents alike.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ min_height=”0″ padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”100″ skip_arrow=”true” top_shape_color=”#ffffff” bottom_shape_color=”#ffffff” section_id=”primera” el_class=”cultura-azul” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Fira de X\u00e0tiva” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:center|color:%23c9c9c9″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text align=”center”]\n

The Fira de X\u00e0tiva, the city fair held in August, was first celebrated by special decree from King Jaume I in 1250. For several days, the city is transformed into <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> local party capital, its streets awash with revellers from near and far. The opening and closing ceremonies in particular are spectacular events sparkling with light and life.<\/span><\/p>\n

For five days from 15<\/span>th<\/span> to 20<\/span>th<\/span> August, the city\u2019s streets and squares are filled with fairground attractions, market stalls and cultural activities, with the original motive for the fair \u2013 livestock \u2013 now relegated to the background. Highlights among the many activities on the programme include a draft horse competition known as <\/span>tiro y arrastre<\/span><\/i>, which was introduced in the 1970s, a night on which traditional <\/span>albaes<\/span><\/i> are sung, a classic motorcycling tournament, a series of children\u2019s shows, and the resurrected festival of song, <\/span>El Festival de la Can\u00e7\u00f3<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/feria.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”hidden-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/feria.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”visible-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ bg_repeat=”no-repeat” min_height=”0″ padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”100″ skip_arrow=”true” el_class=”cultura-azul” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Corpus Christi Procession” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:center|color:%23c9c9c9″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text align=”center”]\n

The X\u00e0tiva Corpus Christi procession in the month of June is a combination of the religious and the profane, a solemn yet striking affair that embraces numerous elements of popular culture, most of which have their own dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

First documented in the 14<\/span>th<\/span> century, it is one of the oldest Corpus processions in the Region of Valencia, but it was in the 1980s that efforts were truly made to restore its importance and return it to the splendour it enjoys nowadays. Schoolchildren spend weeks practising the traditional dances, which include the dance of the giants and bigheads (<\/span>gigantes y cabezudos<\/span><\/i>), the labourers\u2019 dance (<\/span>labradores<\/span><\/i>), the dances of <\/span>els arquets<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>els cavallets<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>la magrana<\/span><\/i>, and the classic <\/span>moma<\/span><\/i>, which portrays the battle between good and evil. On the religious front, numerous characters from the Bible march in the procession, representing biblical scenes. Another major element is the <\/span>enramada<\/span><\/i>, in which the local residents scatter herbs onto the streets in advance of the procession, creating an aromatic green carpet for the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Corpus25.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”hidden-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Corpus25.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”visible-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ bg_repeat=”no-repeat” min_height=”0″ padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”100″ skip_arrow=”true” el_class=”cultura-azul” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Fallas

The spectacular festival of Las Fallas has a long-standing history in X\u00e1tiva. The first monument to be burnt as part of Las Fallas was erected on Pla\u00e7a de la Trinitat in 1865, making X\u00e1tiva the first city after Valencia to celebrate this festival. The local version has been officially declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and has been nominated for inclusion on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

These days 19 <\/span>fallas<\/span><\/i> monuments are erected, alongside their corresponding children\u2019s versions, satirising current affairs. The <\/span>fallas<\/span><\/i> are also accompanied by annual publications known as <\/span>llibrets fallers<\/span><\/i>, a long-standing tradition and genuine reflection of the ever-evolving social facet of the festival. The celebrations then intensify across Las Fallas week to culminate on 19<\/span>th<\/span> March, <\/span>El D\u00eda de San Jos\u00e9<\/span><\/i> or St Joseph\u2019s Day. These are days for street life, full of music and fireworks. On the morning of the 19<\/span>th<\/span> the monuments are paraded through the streets in an event known as <\/span>La Baixada de Sant Josep<\/span><\/i>. Then, that night, the celebrations climax with <\/span>La<\/span><\/i> Crem\u00e1<\/span><\/i>, the spectacular and symbolic burning of the <\/span>fallas<\/span><\/i>. And then work immediately begins on the long preparations for next year\u2019s celebrations\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fallas-011.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”left center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”hidden-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fallas-011.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”left center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”visible-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ bg_repeat=”no-repeat” min_height=”0″ padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”100″ skip_arrow=”true” el_class=”cultura-azul” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Semana Santa” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:center|color:%23c9c9c9″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text align=”center”]\n

Semana Santa<\/span><\/i> in X\u00e0tiva is one of the biggest and oldest Holy Week festivals in the Region of Valencia. Dating back to the late Middle Ages, it sees the participation of 16 brotherhoods, who come from all around to parade their images and icons \u2013 with pieces that date back to the 17<\/span>th<\/span> and 18<\/span>th<\/span> centuries, and pieces attributed to esteemed Valencian sculptor Jos\u00e9 Esteve Bonet. <\/span><\/p>\n

During <\/span>Semana Santa<\/span><\/i> the city streets are crowded with spectators come to observe the strikingly solemn processions rich in historical, artistic and religious heritage. One of the most renowned processions is <\/span>Les Cortesies<\/span><\/i> or The Encounter, which is held opposite the Church of Sant Francesc on Easter Wednesday and features the figures of the Ecce-Homo and Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Soledad.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LnhhdGl2YXR1cmlzbW8uY29tJTJGZW4lMkZob2x5LXdlZWstaW4teGF0aXZhJTJGJTIyJTIwJTIyJTIwdGFyZ2V0JTNEJTIyX2JsYW5rJTIyJTIwc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJiYWNrZ3JvdW5kLWNvbG9yJTNBJTIzREI5QzIzJTNCJTIwcGFkZGluZyUzQTVweCUzQiUyMGNvbG9yJTNBJTIzRkZGRkZGJTNCJTIwdGV4dC1hbGlnbiUzQWNlbnRlciUzQiUyMHdpZHRoJTNBNDAlMjUlM0IlMjBmb250LXNpemUlM0ExNXB4JTNCJTIwdGV4dC1hbGlnbiUzQWNlbnRlciUzQiUyMG1hcmdpbi1sZWZ0JTNBYXV0byUzQiUyMG1hcmdpbi1yaWdodCUzQWF1dG8lM0IlMjBkaXNwbGF5JTNBYmxvY2slM0IlMjIlM0VSRUFEJTIwTU9SRSUzQyUyRmElM0UlMEE=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/semana-santa.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”hidden-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/semana-santa.jpg” bg_color=”#000000″ bg_position=”center top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0.5″ min_height=”0″ full_height=”true” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ visibility=”visible-sm” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#000000″ bg_repeat=”no-repeat” min_height=”0″ padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”100″ skip_arrow=”true” el_class=”cultura-azul” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Musical Societies

Music is one of the most deep-rooted arts in the Region of Valencia and a cornerstone of collective identity \u2013 and in X\u00e0tiva there is no exception. Music is lived intensely here throughout the year, and is an integral part of the local festivals \u2013 no event of any nature is complete without its accompanying soundtrack.
