The streets were lined with colorful murals and sculptures, and there was a tangible sense of excitement in the air.

The second day of the festival was the main event, the fireworks display. I went to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where the fireworks were being launched from. The square was packed with people, all eagerly awaiting the start of the show. When the fireworks began, they were truly spectacular. The sky was filled with colorful explosions, and the sound of the fireworks echoed through the city. It was an amazing sight, and one that I will never forget.
Day 3: The Parade
On the third day of the festival, there was a parade through the city. I joined the crowds and watched as the floats passed by.

There were musicians, dancers, and performers, all adding to the festive atmosphere.

The final day of the festival was another opportunity to see the fireworks. This time, I went to the Turia Gardens, where the fireworks were being launched from. The gardens were a beautiful setting for the display, with the fireworks reflecting off the trees and water. It was a magical end to an incredible festival, and one that I will always remember.
