The Social Event will be on July 26, starting at 15:30. We will depart from the conference venue – Hotel Primus Valencia. This event consists of a panoramic tour where you have the opportunity to experience some of Valencia’s most emblematic places, combining the city’s historic heart with its striking contemporary landmarks, followed by a stop at the seaside. For this visit it is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city and the capital of the Valencian Community, a Mediterranean city that enchants visitors with its blend of centuries of history, a vibrant gastronomic culture, and bold modern architecture. The journey begins with a panoramic bus tour through the city, passing by some of its best-known locations, namely the Mestalla football stadium (home of Valencia CF), the Colón Market (a magnificent example of Valencian Art Nouveau architecture), the Bullring, the North Train Station (a beautiful Modernista landmark), the medieval Serranos and Quart Towers (the great gateways of the old city walls) and the Turia Gardens, a 10-kilometre-long green park laid out along the former bed of the Turia River, among other places.

The tour will continue with a one-hour guided walking tour through the city, allowing you to discover its streets, squares and atmosphere up close, taking in must-sees such as the Cathedral and its Miguelete bell tower, the Central Market and the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange) — all admired from the outside.

The next photo stop will be at the Albufera, where you can enjoy the lake views together with a few explanations regarding the Valencian orchard (huerta), the local gastronomy — this is the very birthplace of paella — and the area’s rich biodiversity.
