“What you cannot miss in December”, our agenda is finally back. Thanksgiving is over, Cyber Monday too… Finally, it is Christmas time! And, needless to say, we are so excited! Lights on and let’s sing some Christmas carols: let’s create the right atmosphere to begin our blog post.
Our favourite celebration of the years is coming and helpValencia has selected for you many Christmassy plans.
“We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.”
We know there is still a few weeks before Christmas, but we are so excited that we need some Christmas song to create the right atmosphere. Have you already decorated your room and your shared flat? It may be a great activity to spend time with your flatmates, isn’t it? A shared flat offers you the chance to experience a new different and special Christmas. You can create a cosy atmosphere all together with decorations, hot chocolate, cookies and candles. Secret Santa, movie nights, cinnamon scent all over the room
Such nice memories! Do not miss the chance to create yours. As helpValencia always remembers you, when you look for an accommodation, choose shared flats. They are a great solution to share expenses and spend great moments with other students or young workers from all over the world. Imagine living with people from many different countries. You could discover new traditions and make them yours, too!
“Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!”
We know we are rambling so… Should we begin with our Christmassy agenda?
FOOD
9 December It is not too Christmassy, but we had to include this event in our agenda. The entrance is extremely cheap and the first beer is included… We do not see a single reason why we should prefer Glühwein!
Christmas treats? You are spoilt for choice in Valencia. Among the delicious sweets, we have decided to suggest you the Peladillas, sugar panned almonds served to the guests during Christmas time. Can you imagine a jar full of them? Terrific…
ART
La Nadalenca is a huge event that takes place in Valencia during the Christmas season. Actually, it entails many different plans including our beloved musicals. “The Lion King”, “Alice in wonderland”, “The little Mermaid”, “The wizard of Oz” and many others…
18 December It doesn’t sound like a Christmas concert, nonetheless we had to include this concert in our agenda. Gautier Capuçon and his cello will entertain us with Debussy, Brahms and Rajmáninov. This plan is something new for us, but we wanted to experience something new ahahahah
EVENTS AND PLANS
We are in love with Christmas Markets. Lights, Glühwein, decorations, Christmas trees, Gingerbread and many other sweet treats… We could spend hours in there, with a hot chocolate and some sugary waffles! They are just so Christmassy, we had to include them in our agenda. Let’s turn into Christmas elves!
1 December Let’s get off with the right foot! Las Fallas are the more traditional things that characterize Valencia. What are we celebrating? The second anniversary of the declaration of the Fallas as World Heritage. When? The parade begins at 13.00 h and the bonfires at 20.30 h… Take the day off!
“We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
Please bring it right here!”
Are you ready for December and all its amazing events? We cannot wait that this month begins with all its lights and all its sweets! Especially the sweets ahahahah
“Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!”
Just remember to decorate your Christmas tree and your shared flat. If you are still looking for a cosy home to decorate, helpValencia has a Christmas present for you! Have a look at our cosy flats and cool rooms and begin your experience abroad with us. What else can you ask for?
Our Christmassy posts do not stop here! This month we will entertain you with many other information about the sweetest month of the year, therefore, stay tuned!
Elves, are you ready?
“…We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year…”
