| The Valencia Grand Prix is the newest race on the F1 calendar. The race is held on a new street circuit on the site of the 'Americas Cup' marina. Built to rival Monaco and to satisfy the huge popularity for Formula 1 in Spain. The race is a guaranteed sell out! From the moment you arrive in Valencia we will take care of all your needs, airport transfers to and from your hotel, circuit transfers on Saturday and Sunday and the best grandstand seats available You're sure to enjoy your stay at the Dona Anita, a well appointed traditional Spanish hotel situated in the historic quarter of Requena. An important wine town inland from Valencia. We have reserved the entire hotel. We dine as a group, enjoying great food and regional award winning wines that help the conversation flow long into the night. Think of your stay as an exclusive F1 house party.
During our stay in Requena the town stages a festival to celebrate the beginning of the grape harvest, known as La Fiesta de la Vendimia. People take to the streets to beseech the powers-that-be for the water needed for the next harvest. Their neighbours waste no time in granting their request with the help of buckets and hoses, and everyone gets a thorough soaking. Accompanied by much drinking, parties and processions the fiesta runs throughout our entire weekend in Requena.
Friday
Fly into Valencia airport. Chauffeured transfer to the Dona Anita hotel at Requena. Once settled in your sumptuous room join us and your fellow F1 guests for welcome drinks and tapas.
