The stadium-style nature of the stands around the track means the whole of the circuit can be viewed by the fans as the annual MotoGP™ fiesta reaches a crescendo. There are corners at the circuit named after two great Spanish riders; Jorge Martinez Aspar and Angel Nieto. Both of them contributed significantly to the profile of Grand Prix motorcycle racing in Spain and around in the world.

There is plenty of accommodation near the circuit along the A3 motorway, which takes you Westwards away from the coast. Essentially the track is a short drive, or ride, outside the city towards the interior of Spain - close to the small town of Cheste.

The best spots to stay can get booked up fairly quickly, however there are literally thousands of options and this is a place well-accustomed to hosting large crowds for events and street parties.

Even if you do not speak Spanish or the Valencian language (which is distinctly different) at least having a go at a few phrases or demonstrating some knowledge of the local culture is bound to win you friends.

At the "Fallas" museum you will find "ninots" (larger than life figures usually based on real human characters) which were spared from the bonfires of the traditional festival, and can be enjoyed all year round.

A glass of freshly squeezed Valencia orange juice is a must whilst you are in the area, and the city is recognized nationally as the home of paella. Indeed, many restaurants offer an array of rice dishes in addition to traditional recipes, so why not experiment and try something new.

Lunch, "La Comida", is typically served between 2pm to 4pm, and many people do not eat evening meals until 10pm onwards, after an aperitif or two. As in other parts of Spain tipping is not always expected but it is polite to leave a couple of euros in a bar and around five percent of the total bill in rest
