Is cricket actually played in Valencia?
Yes. Levante Cricket Club is an established local club, and in October 2017 the city hosted the Valencia Smash International T20 with touring UK clubs, as recorded by the municipal sports foundation.
Are there cricket clubs in Valencia?
Levante Cricket Club is the best-documented club. Cricket España lists affiliated clubs across Spain.
Where is the Valencia cricket ground?
Cricket has been played at the municipal baseball-softball ground in Section VI of the former Turia riverbed (Turia Gardens), in the centre of the city.
Can visiting clubs arrange friendly matches?
Often, yes — but every fixture depends on a host club's availability and a confirmed ground booking. We'll research options for your dates.
Can clubs visit during winter?
Valencia's winters are generally mild compared with northern Europe, but daylight is shorter and ground availability isn't guaranteed year-round.
Which months are most suitable for cricket?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are usually the most comfortable, based on AEMET climate normals. Summer is hot.
Is the ground suitable for T20 or longer games?
T20 and T30 fit most easily. Longer formats depend on booking windows — to be confirmed with the venue or host club.
How many matches could we organise?
Typically one on a weekend tour and one to three on a 4–5 day tour, subject to availability.
Can we bring supporters and families?
Absolutely. Valencia is excellent for families, with beaches, parks, museums and great food.
How far is the cricket venue from the city centre?
The Turia Gardens run through the city, so the ground is a walk or short taxi ride from the historic centre and many hotels.
What accommodation options are available for teams?
Mid-range hotels, aparthotels, hostels with private rooms and beach hotels. See our Where to Stay guides.
How do cricket teams travel from Valencia Airport?
Metro lines 3 and 5 reach the centre, but with kit bags a pre-booked minibus or coach is usually simplest.
Can you help arrange food and sightseeing?
Yes — we can suggest team dinners, paella experiences and activities. Bookings are made directly with providers.
Do we need to bring cricket equipment?
Assume yes: bring your own kit, balls, and ideally stumps and a scorebook. Local equipment availability is to be confirmed.
Can we arrange a tournament with multiple clubs?
Possibly, if several clubs travel in the same window and a venue is available. Mention it in your enquiry.
How early should a club begin planning?
Six months or more is ideal, especially for spring, autumn and Fallas.
Does your initial assistance cost anything?
No. Our planning assistance is complimentary for our first visiting clubs. Accommodation, transport, ground hire and other services are paid directly to providers.
