MOTOR RACING IN VALENCIA

Lavender coloured logo image

Located just over twenty kilometres and an estimated thirty minutes from the city is the motor racing track. That said, the journey quite probably takes much longer on race days.

The Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo was created at the end of the last millennium as a commitment to motor sports. It is an emblematic location for diverse races and offers enough space for some 65,000 spectators.

The weaving curcuit is just a tad over four kilometres in length for both two and four wheels and hosts a number of events throughout the year. These include Formula GT and the American flavour of NASCAR.

AIRPORT GETAWAY

Airport getaway is very easy and quick because Manises airport is comfortably close to the city centre. The metro station for trains to Valencia is underneath the terminal. Take one escalator down from arrivals and two access departures.

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.

Delicious destinations

Going out to eat a delicious meal in a restaurant, have a relaxing drink with friends in a tapas bar or partying till very late are all great experiences. Unique to Valencia and the region, many restaurants offer almuerzo. Loosely translated to lunch, this inexpensive late morning meal is served with a drink and coffee.
