Valencia, Spain´s hub

Valencia is one of Spain’s most important cities, not only because it has established itself as a key international tech hub in recent years, but also due to its economic significance, tourist appeal, and excellent connectivity with the rest of Spain, Europe, and Latin America. The airport, high-speed trains, and an efficient road network make the Turia capital a city open to the world.

For this reason, Renfe offers a special 5% discount for professionals traveling by train between October 20 and 26. However, if you’re flying, Iberia, Iberia Express, and Air Nostrum also offer an exclusive 10% discount on flights to Valencia, Alicante, Madrid, or Barcelona.
