Valencia's compact size makes navigation easy. Most festival venues are within 30 minutes of each other on foot, and the city is refreshingly flat.

On foot: Walking between venues works great. Valencia's pedestrian-friendly streets make exploring the city enjoyable.

By bike: Valencia has fantastic bike lanes everywhere. We're working on securing discounted bike rentals for festival participants (updates coming soon).

By taxi: Taxis are easy to find throughout the city. Hail them on the street (no worries about “broken” meters or credit card machines) or book through Uber, Cabify, or FreeNow.

Public transport: Metro and bus services run throughout Valencia, though for festival venue distances, walking is usually just as fast.

Lunch during workshops: Most workshops break for one hour. Since restaurant service timing can vary, we suggest heading out in smaller groups to ensure you're back on time. Some restaurants are closed on Sundays.

Grocery stores: Most supermarkets have good hours during the week, but many close on Sundays. If you need groceries on Sunday, look for convenience stores, fruit stores and smaller grocery store chains (Charter, Carrefour) that stay open.

Dinner around show times: Shows start at 7:00pm. Many restaurants in Valencia close from 4:00-7:00pm for siesta, so options before shows are limited. We recommend:

• Eat a light snack before the show, then have dinner after (around 9:00pm, a typical Valencia dinner time)

• Check restaurant hours if planning to eat before 7:00pm—there are some that are open, but you’ll have to look

• For weekend sit-down dinners at 9pm, consider making reservations

• Plenty of takeout options available around Teatro Off after 7:00pm

Narrativa takes place the weekend after Fallas, Valencia's famous fire festival (March 15-19). If you arrive early or extend your trip, you can experience the tail end of Fallas—giant sculptural installations, daily firework shows (mascletàs), and the final night's spectacular "cremà" when all sculptures are burned on March 19th.

Fallas is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage celebration that transforms Valencia into an open-air art museum. It's one of Spain's most impressive festivals and a unique opportunity to experience Valencia's cultural heritage.

All festival venues are within easy walking distance of each other in Valencia's central and near-central neighborhoods. For maximum convenience, we recommend staying in or near these areas:

Extramurs – Most of our venues are in this district (Espai Llierma, Estudio Ortiz, Teatro Off). Extramurs sits just outside the old city walls with excellent transport connections, local character, and easy access to both the city center and Turia Gardens. Great value compared to the historic center.

Jesús – Home to VLC Playground. A residential neighborhood with authentic local atmosphere, good restaurants, and central location.

Ciutat Vella (Old Town) – Valencia's historic center. While slightly more expensive, you'll be within 10-20 minutes' walk of all venues and surrounded by Valencia's main attractions, restaurants, and nightlife.

Russafa – Just east of Extramurs. Trendy neighborhood known for great restaurants, cafes, and nightlife. About 15-20 minutes' walk to most venues.

All these neighborhoods have good public transport connections, though you likely won't need it—everything is walkable.

Patraix (where Pont Flotant is located) is slightly further south but still connected. If you're on a tighter budget and don't mind a 20-30 minute walk to other venues, it's a more affordable option with authentic local character.

Booking tips:

• Book early—Valencia is popular in late March following Fallas

• Airbnb, Booking.com, and local hostels all have good options in these areas

Late March in Valencia is lovely. Spring is in full swing with mild, pleasant weather perfect for exploring the city between workshops.

Typical conditions:

• Temperature: Daytime highs around 18-20°C (64-68°F), cooler evenings around 10-12°C (50-54°F)

• Sunshine: Valencia is famously sunny with over 300 days of sun per year, rain is unlikely but possible

• Rain: March averages only 5-6 rainy days, so chances are excellent you'll have clear skies

What to pack:

• Layers (light jacket or sweater for evenings)

• Comfortable walking shoes

• Sunglasses and sunscreen (the sun is strong even in spring!)

• Light rain jacket or umbrella just in case

The weather is generally perfect for walking between venues, enjoying outdoor cafes during lunch breaks, and exploring Valencia's parks and beaches if you have free time.
