If you’re planning a spring trip to Valencia, mark your calendar for one of the city’s most flavorful events: La Mostra de PROAVA 2025, the largest food and wine festival in the Valencian Community. Held in the heart of the city, this celebration of local products and traditions is a perfect excuse to hop on a bike and experience Valencia like a local.
Let’s dive into what makes this festival so special — and how exploring it on two wheels makes the experience even better.
A Return to Roots: La Mostra de PROAVA 2025
Under the theme “Return to the Roots”, this year’s festival highlights local agriculture, traditional winemaking, and authentic Valencian cuisine. What started back in 1987 with just 16 wineries and cooperatives has grown into a national event, drawing thousands of visitors to Plaza de la Reina and surrounding areas.
Expect a sensory overload:
- Handcrafted wines from across the region
- Local cheeses, olive oils, and sausages
- Artisanal pastries and sweet treats
- Live music and cooking demos
- Eco-friendly, zero-waste initiatives
And the best part? It’s all within easy cycling distance.
Why Explore Valencia by Bike During the Festival?
Valencia is a bike-friendly paradise — with over 200 km of bike lanes, flat terrain, and stunning routes that connect parks, beaches, and cultural hotspots.
During PROAVA, traffic around the center gets busy. Parking? Forget it. But with a bike, you’re free to move, explore, and enjoy the city without stress.
Here’s why a bike is your best friend during the festival:
- Flexible & Fast Access. Want to stop for a quick wine tasting, then pedal down to the beach for sunset? You can do it all in one day — no taxis, no waiting.
- See More, Spend Less Time Walking. Get from the Turia Gardens to the historic center, or from Ruzafa’s street art to the City of Arts and Sciences — all in under 30 minutes by bike.
- Eco-Friendly Travel. The festival itself promotes sustainability. Arriving by bike means you’re part of that mindset — and it just feels right.
Make It a Tour: Discover More Than Just Wine
If you want more than just food and wine, join a guided bike tour of Valencia before (or after) your festival visit. Local guides can show you:
- Hidden alleys and local legends
- Historic markets and street food stops
- The best photo spots you’d never find on foot
Whether you’re solo, with friends, or a family, a tour makes everything smoother — and more memorable.
