Spain Valencia Weather in March — Climate Guide
March in Valencia is very-high
March is very-high for Valencia.
March in Valencia means Las Fallas — the city's huge, UNESCO-listed festival (March 15-19) — set against pleasant spring weather averaging 20°C/10°C with low rainfall (35mm).
Las Fallas is the highlight of the Valencia calendar: hundreds of giant satirical papier-mâché sculptures (ninots) fill the streets, with daily ear-splitting mascletà pyrotechnic displays at 14:00 in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, fireworks, flower offerings, and processions. It climaxes with La Cremà on the night of March 19, when the sculptures are set ablaze across the city.

Valencia in March — Full Picture
March in Valencia means Las Fallas — the city's huge, UNESCO-listed festival (March 15-19) — set against pleasant spring weather averaging 20°C/10°C with low rainfall (35mm).
Las Fallas is the highlight of the Valencia calendar: hundreds of giant satirical papier-mâché sculptures (ninots) fill the streets, with daily ear-splitting mascletà pyrotechnic displays at 14:00 in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, fireworks, flower offerings, and processions. It climaxes with La Cremà on the night of March 19, when the sculptures are set ablaze across the city.
Book accommodation 4-6 months ahead — hotels run 2-3x normal and sell out. Expect huge crowds, street closures, late nights, and noise (bring earplugs for the mascletà and watch for pickpockets). It's unforgettable but not a quiet sightseeing trip.
Outside the festival dates, March is lovely spring weather for sightseeing with mild days. The sea is still cool (around 15°C) so it's not swimming season yet.
Note: if you want calm sightseeing and low prices, avoid mid-March; if you want the spectacle, plan early.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Pleasant spring — around 20°C/10°C, mostly dry and sunny. Light layers for the day, a jacket for cool evenings. For Las Fallas, comfortable shoes and earplugs for the daily mascletà.
