• Get off at: Grau La Marina.

Arrival Tip: Once you step off the tram at Grau La Marina, you will see the Marina directly ahead. The dinner venue, Veles e Vents, is the unmistakable, large white building with wide, overlapping terraces located right at the water’s edge (about a 5-minute walk from the stop).

Moving within the city

Valencia is a very walkable city with an efficient public transport network (Metrovalencia and EMT buses).
Public Transport Cards: We recommend purchasing a SUMA card at any metro station or licensed kiosk (estanco). A SUMA 10 (10 trips) is the most cost-effective way to get around; it is a single card that can be shared between multiple people and works for the Metro, Tram, and local buses.

Important: Travel & Expense Policy

Please be advised of the following regarding workshop expenses:
Due to specific grant and funding regulations, the organization will not reimburse any local transportation costs. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Metro and tram tickets/cards.
• Taxi, Uber, or Cabify fares.
• Airport parking or private shuttle services.

Only travel and accommodation booked directly through the official travel agency are covered by the workshop budget. Any other local transport expenses incurred during your stay must be covered personally by the participant.
