The Fair of Nations in Valencia

From 13th May until 13th June, the former course of the River Turia, in Valencia, is hosting the Fair of Nations. An ideal event to have a great time and discover the music, gastronomy and ultimately the culture of a great many countries.

This Fair, an event with a huge sociocultural dimension, features many attractive activities and fun spectacles. Every year it draws great crowds of people and is hugely successful.

There are many reasons why people keep returning to the area around the Calatrava Bridge, including the international gastronomy on offer, where visitors can sample typical food and drink from all around the world, and the different rhythms that will be inundating this section of the former river course.

Furthermore, in the Fair of Nations there is an area dedicated to arts and crafts from all around the world, where pieces that reflect the cultural knowledge and wealth of over 50 countries are exhibited and sold. The 'plazas del arte' is a space where you can admire the paintings, sculpture and antiques from half the world. An exhibition that brings together over 200 paintings by artists from Cuba, Santo Domingo and Mexico, antique silver from Argentina, and reproductions of items in the Colombia Gold Museum are part of this exhibition, the maximum expression of international culture.
