Ruzafa is easily one of Valencia’s most vibrant and culturally dynamic neighbourhood, and after spending time there, it is easy to understand why. What makes Ruzafa unique is not simply the number of things to do, but the way diverse experiences coexist within a compact, walkable area. The barrio combines independent retail, food culture, creative […]

At first glance, it is difficult to believe that one of Valencia’s most active public spaces was once a river. Today, the ‘Jardín del Río Turia’ stretches nearly nine kilometres across the city, connecting neighbourhoods, landmarks, and communities through a continuous corridor of green. What was once the Turia River is now one of Spain’s […]

When visitors come to Valencia, it is common for them to stick to the city centre, seeing the Plaza de Reina and the streets that are filled with tables for the outdoor seating of the countless restaurants that line each passageway. But just a little south of the bustling city centre is Ruzafa, a once-humble […]

‘The Terminal Hub’ has now established itself as Valencia’s main innovation and international talent ecosystem. It does so because there is no other space like it in the city, integrating a community of 500 professionals of 35 different nationalities, with an average age of 36. 32.5% of its members come from outside Spain, reflecting Valencia’s […]

One celebration folds into another, as though time itself here refuses to move in straight lines. When the harvest of rice is honoured (Arroz Festival), it is already time for […]

La Fábrica de Hielo is one of our favourite “chill-out” spots. This artistic and diverse space hides in the barrio of ‘El Cabanyal’, just next to the beach. Revamped from an abandoned ice factory; on the inside there is natural light that pours from the ceilings to illuminate a playful, hipster interior with colourful mismatching […]

The Terminal Hub’s event cycle celebrates its first anniversary, fostering community with nearly a thousand professionals and 24 gatherings featuring a free and open first-class programme. Upcoming international appointments with leaders from IBM, Scooltic, Across Legal, and Crea Inversión highlight the agenda for the coming months. Through its ‘Driving Change’ cycle, the hub has consolidated […]

Bioparc Valencia opened in 2008 within the old Turia riverbed, replacing the outdated Viveros Zoo, and was designed and is managed by Rainforest Valencia in partnership with the City Council. Spanning over 10 hectares (100,000 m²), the park adopts a “zoo-immersion” philosophy, where visitors feel like they are part of the animals’ habitats due to seamless […]
