Venue and transportation
The city of Valencia is a beautiful, well maintained city full of charm located on the Mediterranean coast, where the subtle aromas of salty sea water and saffron (a defining element of the famous paella) are ever present in the gentle breeze. It is the capital of the Autonomous Community of Valencia and the third largest city in Spain, with over 800,000 inhabitants who speak both Castilian Spanish and Valencian.
Few other cities can boast such a rich cultural history, which has remained vivid and evolving from ancient times to the present day, with each era leaving its stamp on the city. There are also plenty of atmospheric restaurants and bars to enjoy after a full day at the conference.
