Tradition and Celebration: Mascletà and Fallas Queens’ Parade

The spirit of Fallas was felt strongly on March 10, 2025, around the Student House. At 2:00 PM, a spectacular mascletà (a traditional Valencian firecracker show) was held, gathering dozens of students and university community members. The thunderous sound of fireworks filled the air, marking the beginning of a day full of tradition.

After the pyrotechnic display, the university’s Fallas Queens paraded through the campus, accompanied by the rector’s team, including several vice-rectors, as well as representatives of the Student Council. The parade, which passed through the Palm Walk and the Central Plaza, delighted attendees with traditional music and the vibrant spirit of Fallas.

This event, organized in collaboration with the university’s Fallas community, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to Valencian culture and traditions.

Fallas Chocolate Event at the Student House

On March 10, 2025, the Student Union UPV organized a chocolate event to celebrate the Fallas festivities. The event took place at the Student Recreation Centre starting at 10:00 AM, where hot chocolate and traditional fritters were served. The turnout was impressive, and the venue quickly filled up. The distribution of chocolate and fritters continued until 11:00 AM, allowing attendees to enjoy a pleasant and festive gathering.

Come and enjoy a hot chocolate with coca de llanda!

After several weeks of closure, the filming of the El Desorden production company has come to an end. To thank the student community for their patience and kindness during the use of the Casa del Alumno, we invite you on February 18th at 6:00 PM to share a hot chocolate with coca de llanda.

We’ll be waiting for you on the ground floor of the Casa del Alumno, entrance through the south door.

See you there! ☕✨

The Student Recretion Centre renews its collection of games!

At The Student Recreation Centre we have updated our collection of games so that you have new options to enjoy. Some games have left our toy library, but in their place we have added titles that may surprise you and offer you different experiences.

Among the new features, you can now find games like Picnic, Saboteur, Wingspan, Vaccine Mind, Survive the Island, Rescue Mission and Secret Mission. All of them are added to the games you already know, such as Monopoly, Exploding Kittens, Fallera Calavera, Trivia, Chess, Parcheesi, in addition to billiards, cards and dice that are always available.

The idea is to offer a space where you can disconnect, play and share good times. If you are curious about any of the new titles or want to revisit the classics, we are waiting for you at The Student Recreation Centre.
