Valencia Itineraries

"Bring a list of exact items (gels, tape, replacement laces) to keep this visit under 30–45 minutes — Decathlon is spacious but can be busy on weekends.Try on any footwear on-site for a short run-test in the store corridor; staff can advise local models suited to Valencia surfaces.Pick up single-use electrolyte sachets for travel back home — small, legal for flights, and great to have in race-week carry-ons."

"Reserve a large paella in advance (specify number of diners) — paella for 4–6 is common and cheaper per person.Ask for separate plates for easy sharing, and order a pitcher of local wine to split among the table.If anyone is vegetarian or has allergies, inform the restaurant at booking time — they often can prepare rice dishes without seafood."

"Order a couple of horchatas to share among the group so everyone gets a sip — it’s sweet and refreshing in May weather.Pick a horchatería with seating so you can relax and plan the evening; many are used to groups of friends.If someone isn’t into sweet drinks, try a small 'granizado' (slushie) alternative that’s also fun to share."

"Best for ages 2–10: toddlers enjoy the small slides while older kids love the big slopes; keep a close eye on little ones inside the sculpture.Bring a lightweight stroller — pathways around Gulliver are paved and shaded; there are public restrooms nearby in the Turia Gardens.Visit late afternoon (less hot in May) for softer light and fewer crowds; bring a small towel to sit on the sculpture steps if you rest nearby."

"Book the same room for your whole group so you’re all in on the same puzzles; it’s a great icebreaker and team activity.Wear comfortable clothes and keep phones in lockers if requested — the shared post-game debrief is where the best photos happen.If someone is less into tight spaces, ask for a room with open layouts; staff can advise on accessibility and difficulty."

"Transport: take a 15–20 minute taxi (more comfortable than buses) directly to the promenade to minimize walking.Seating: the promenade has many benches; sit and enjoy sea air rather than walking on sand if mobility is limited.Sun & wind: April is mild but bring a light jacket and aim for mid-afternoon to avoid cooler sea breezes."

"Accessibility: The museum café and interior spaces are step‑free with elevators; pick a table near an exit for minimal walking to the Hemisfèric later.Timing: Use this slot to check upcoming show times and to purchase or confirm reserved seating for the Hemisfèric, asking for accessible seating if needed.Comfort: Sit for 60–90 minutes to rest legs fully; if you have timed tickets for the Hemisfèric, arrive 15–20 minutes before the show to be seated comfortably."

"Route: Choose a short section of the park with the most benches (near the bridge areas) and avoid long continuous walks — aim for 20–30 minutes of gentle walking.Shade & rest: In May the tree canopy is good; stop at a café inside the park or at an adjacent museum café if you need a seat or restroom.Exit points: Plan your exit point in advance and take a short taxi from a nearby access point to your accommodation to avoid extra walking at the end of the day."

"Book one room for your full group so you can split into roles and split the cost evenly — ask operator for private bookings for groups of 4–6.Arrive 15 minutes early to get briefed together, store bags in supplied lockers, and pick roles for fastest flow (navigator, timekeeper, clue reader).Ruzafa is lively afterward — plan a post-escape drink nearby to debrief and celebrate your wins."
