This excellent Valencian fiesta takes place in Benidorm from the 14th to March 19th, the festivity of San José. Like the city of Valencia, Benidorm honours San José with Las Fallas - a festival of nightly street parties and rowdy fireworks. Three giant papiermâché statues are erected and then ceremoniously burned to the ground on the final evening. The trio of statues, known as Central Falla, Rincon Falla and Els Tolls Falla, are constructed by - and placed in the different districts of Benidorm. The areas try to outdo each other with their huge and elaborate designs and often use the statues to poke fun at local celebrities and politicians. The Valencian fiesta is celebrated in Benidorm with the erection of the Fallas enjoy Fireworks and concerts. Fallas burnt on 19th and is not to be missed. For five days the castles, monuments and “mascletaes” become the protagonists of Benidorm, where the smell of gunpowder is interspersed

A transformation that occurs as a prelude to spring, and on March 19, everything ends and everything begins; with the last of the ashes people start to dream of Fallas again for the following year. Commemoration of the “ Vírgen del Sufragio’ 16th COMMEMORATION OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN At the old town church there is an offering flowers. The discovery of the Patron Saint, the ‘Vírgen del Sufragio’ is reenacted as the Virgin is carried from the beach by the harbour up to the Church.

Throughout Easter the weather will be warm with clear blue sky and the sun will be shining, as families pitch up on the beach to enjoy a day of fun ice-cream, barbecues and ice-cold beers. Thousands of people descended on the north to enjoy some welcome fun in the sun. Windbreakers, sunscreen and sports equipment are unpacked from the hundreds of cars parked around the local streets and car parks so arrive early if you want a space! Easter is a time to relax in the sunshine, while friends meet up to enjoy the time off work and there is no where better to do that than on the beach away from all of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Over the next few weeks temperatures will be around 21C to 23C in inland parts and a bit cooler along the coast.

St Patricks Day Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. St Patrick is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. Most of what is known about him comes from his two works; the Confessio, a spiritual autobiography, and his Epistola, a denunciation of British mistreatment of Irish christians. Saint Patrick described himself as a “most humble-minded man, pouring forth a continuous paean of thanks to his Maker for having chosen him as the instrument whereby multitudes who had worshipped idols and unclean things had become the people of God.”

We’re taking nothing for granted ahead of Wales clash insists Gray Scotland Under-20s skipper Jonny Gray insists he and his teammates are keeping their feet firmly on the ground ahead of their upcoming RBS 6 Nations clash with Wales. An opening day defeat to England has been followed up two successes, first against Italy and then last time out in dramatic fashion against Ireland. Fly-half Tommy Allan held his nerve to convert Damien Hoyland’s late try to seal a 21-20 win for Scotland against Ireland in Galashiels. Scotland welcome unbeaten Wales to Inverness next and, having not beaten them since 2009, Gray, younger brother of Scotland lock Richie Gray, insists they are taking nothing for granted. England are leading the table with 6 points after a massive victory over France Wales trailing by two points have all to play for heading toward the final match against the leaders a true battle for the title is yet to come. What is most uncommon in this competition is that France are

bottom with no points after their three losses against England, Wales and Italy. Italy 23 v 18 France France 6 v 16 Wales England 23 v 13 France Wales being the favourites after winning the tournament last year lost their opening to Ireland 22-30 but beating both France and Italy now sees them chase the leaders having to go to Murrayfield on 9th March and then on home turf on 16th March. England have the edge with the lead and next to take on Italy at Twickenham put them in a really positive position and could have earned them an even bigger advantage on the final day.

Holidays are a time for relaxing, unwinding and enjoying yourself and for some that would mean spending all of it on the beach. But don´t forget, some of the best days spent on holiday are those where you get out for a while, see new things, experience other cultures and most of all meet other people! We at Round Town Travel want you to make the most of your visit to the Costa Blanca and experience all that it has to offer and that´s why we have put together quite possibly the most comprehensive range of day trips to be found anywhere in the resort and they don´t cost the earth. Quite simply, they are “as cheap as chips”! We have a full schedule of half, three quarter and full day excursions running Monday to Saturday and we will collect you from the most convenient point to your accommodation. The Costa Blanca has so much to offer and has been a popular holiday

destination for the Brits for many years. Every trip we run has been carefully planned to ensure that you get the best out of the day and all of our excursions are accompanied by an English speaking guide who will share with you points of interest, interesting facts and local tales and of course information about your surroundings on the way. Over the years, we have quite literally taken 1000´s of people “for a ride” and we have the same happy faces coming back year after year as they just can´t get enough and this is due to the quality, price and enjoyment value of the trips we have to offer. We have our “old favourite” and definite not-to-miss Guadalest, that takes you back in time to one of Spain´s most visited mountain villages. The fortified Village, set high in the mountains just a short ride from Benidorm, is famous for many things, not least, it´s miniature museums and spectacular views. We appreciate the time you need to explore

here and that´s why we give you almost 3 hours in Guadalest itself before making our way down through the valley of Guadalest where we make a stop at the reservoir, where those who wish, can take the option of gliding along on the solar powered boat and enjoying the village from a different aspect. Our last stop of the day is at the Costa´s answer to Beaulieu, as we stop at the famous motor museum where you can see one man´s passion for all that moves, lovingly restored and fully functional. This is one of the most popular trips and with good reason. Come along and see for yourself, we go every Thursday! To get the full list and details on any of our trips, please call in to one of the Round Town Travel offices (see map on centre page for location) or visit us at www.roundtowntravel.com For the Month of March, we are giving all Vista Card holders a massive 10% saving on our already ridiculously priced trips, so when you come to book, don´t forget to bring your card.
