As Valencia continues to recover from the recent floods, public transportation is adjusting and cultural programming has resumed. Here’s what you need to know this week:
Transport Updates
- Roadway restrictions will remain in effect until the weekend for the following roads: CV-400, CV-407, CV-36, and CV-33. For the latest updates, see the full report from the crisis committee here.
- Repairs from the recent floods are ongoing, and MetroValencia estimates it will take several weeks for metro lines to return to normal operation. Meanwhile, a bus replacement service is now available between Paterna and Valencia. Stay informed with the latest updates from MetroValencia here.
Flood Risk Assessment
More than 2 million residents in Valencia live in flood plains or near ravines. Las Provincias has published a series of insightful articles on flood risks, including a detailed map of the most vulnerable areas. You can read their full analysis here.
Cultural Programming Resumes
The Ayuntamiento has announced the resumption of cultural programming across Valencia and encourages residents to visit museums and other cultural centers.
Here’s a quick preview of some of this week’s events:
• Palau de la Música: Reopening its doors to continue the concert season. Details here.
• Palau de les Arts & Berklee School of Music: Resuming music programs, with a portion of proceeds supporting arts and music initiatives in flood-affected areas. More information here.
I’ll be working on a more comprehensive roundup of fundraising and cultural activities soon!
