If you’re coming to run the Valencia Marathon — one of the fastest and most beautiful marathon routes in the world — get ready. The whole city transforms: energy in the streets, thousands of runners pushing their limits, and the people of Valencia cheering on every corner.
At Vortex Coworking, we love that spirit. It’s the same mix of community, ambition, and drive that we see every day in our spaces. And since sports and wellbeing are two of the pillars of our community, with many sports activities filling our monthly calendar (runs, hikes, etc), we’re excited to welcome runners from all over the world who come to conquer 42 km in this incredible city.
🍝 Where to Eat Pasta Before the Marathon
Our top picks:
- Lambrusquería: a Valencia classic with two locations offering plenty of pasta options (plus a third spot focused on pizza). Cute, cozy, and reliably good.
- Piero Ronconi: perfect for takeaway or home delivery when you want to carb-load comfortably.
If you’re staying near the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias — where the Marathon hub – great nearby options include: Sorsi e Morsi, Il Sole Póste, and La Tagliatella (Aqua Mall).
🥘 Where to Eat After the Marathon
You’ve earned your carbs — and Valencia is the perfect place to refuel.
Since you’re in the birthplace of paella, we highly recommend enjoying a good arroz from La Terreta. Our top local favourites:
- 👉 El Portón Arrocería Restaurante: close to the marathon area (with another location in the beautiful Calle Sorní in the city centre), this is a classic not to be missed.
- 🌊 Albacora: perfect if you’d like to enjoy your meal by the sea. Great meats as well.
- 🌿 El Nou Racó: located in the Albufera natural park, ideal for a traditional paella in nature.
