Experience the Valencia Marathon from the Palau de Les Arts

Fancy taking in the Valencia Marathon from a prime location? 

On 7 December, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the Palau will be opening its doors for you to enjoy this major sporting event in a different way, with the “Marathon at Les Arts”. 

You can watch the runners cross the finish line from above, soak up the atmosphere of Valencia’s most international race (last year it attracted more than 35,000 participants) and enjoy the best panoramic view of the City of Arts and Sciences. 

You will also have the chance to take an audio-guided tour of the stunning building designed by Santiago Calatrava to learn about its architecture. 

But that’s not all! 

You can enjoy it with a gourmet twist, combining the experience with a sweet and savoury brunch for €50, or a lighter bite to eat for €22. 

Which one will you choose?
