Event Description

Due to unforeseen technical issues, the Fallas Tour last weekend didn't go as planned, so let’s do it right this time with a FALLAS REDO TOUR!

Presented as a talk to make sure we can see all parts of the festival, let’s explore hundreds of giant wooden and papier-mache monuments all over the city, enjoy a parade with hundreds of ladies wearing dresses that are as much as 20,000eu, a 4-story statue of the Virgin Mary made out of FLOWERS, delicious churros and chocolate, an exciting fireworks display, dozens of individual sculptures called Fallas (where the Fallas Festival gets its name) and experience the BURNING of those sculptures at the end. Join Kelsey in Valencia for beautiful views, massive sculptures, delicious treats and the incredible history of FALLAS in Spain!

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (no replay available)

Meet the Host, Kelsey Betzelberger

A Chicago native, Kelsey is an experienced travel writer, opera singer & German teacher. She just moved to Spain with her husband & two cats, and loves to eat! She has traveled (mostly solo!) to 47 countries on 6 continents, and lived in Austria, Germany, France, Croatia, England, the Netherlands & Spain. Kelsey believes that, instead of having the trip of a lifetime, she prefers to have a LIFETIME of TRIPS! Fan of the phrase, "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!", she can't wait to explore the world with her fellow culture- and travel-lovers. Expect gorgeous sites, fascinating stories and close-ups of food. Let's get ready for takeoff! 

Preparing for the Event

For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
