Owners of buy-to-let property in Valencia may experience a surge in demand for their services in October as film buffs flock to the region’s movie festival.

Lasting for one week, the Mostra de Valencia begins on October 14th and showcases some of the best of Mediterranean cinema from the region’s top directors.

Organised by the Municipal Film Foundation, one of its express purposes is to encourage "civic participation in the cultural life of the city".

The 29th installment of the annual event is also hoped to promote interaction between the vast variety of cultures throughout the Mediterranean.

Films will be shown at three different venues throughout the city. These are the Fundacion Municipal de Cine, Paseo del a Mostra and the Museo de la Ciudad.

Those visiting Valencia on October 8th will be able to witness the Festival Internacional de Pirotecnia in which there will be a huge fireworks display over the city.
