BASKETBALL IN VALENCIA
Basketball has been played by male teams in Valencia since 1986 while the female team has been playing since 2014. Their own stadium is known by the rather lengthy name of Pavelló Municipal Font de Sant Lluís or alternatively La Fonteta.
The men at Valencia Basket play in the national league, Liga ABC, as well as the EuroLeague while the women play in the Liga Femenina de Baloncesto.
As in most sports the teams have had a roller coast ride of successful seasons interspersed with those that were not so fruitful, nor so joyous for their fans.

ORIGINAL MOVIES IN VALENCIA
Original language movies are screened regularly in Valencia. Expats and locals head especially to Babel and Yelmo to enjoy films mostly with subtitles, VOS or VOSE or, at times without, VO. Both art house and blockbusters can be seen.
PETS IN VALENCIA
Nowadays in Spain, people have warmed to humanity’s best friend and other pets. The Turia riverbed park is a marvellous, natural place for pets to stroll, play and interact with each other. Small areas are fenced off for dogs.
Hiking and trekking in the Valencia region is initially a matter of transport. Areas of interest for hiking are some 60 kilometres and more away from the city. Examples include Calles to Chelva, Navajas or Montanejos. Most are only accessible by car. Fortunately, one or two few can also be reached by train.
