The birthplace of paella it may be, but Valencia has plenty more strings to its bow than culinary heritage. Indeed, ever since Valencian architect Javier Goerlich Lleó transformed the look of the city in the first half of the 20th century, Valencia has been hailed for its forward-thinking approach to urban life. And one area where it has remained at the vanguard is the growing trend of coworking. We’ve picked out five of Valencia’s best coworking venues.
Vortex
Spread across some of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, Vortex’s three Valencia coworking spaces provide solutions for companies, teams, freelancers or professionals working remotely. Facilities range from private offices to dedicated desks and hot desks, with flexible membership packages available, as well as day passes. All members gain access to meeting rooms, training and events spaces, offsite experiences, phone booths and lounge areas. Pricing is the same at all venues and starts at €95 per month for 5 days a month hot desking access, rising to €240 per month for unlimited 24/7 use of a fixed desk. Day passes are priced at €24.
