| America's
Cup 2007 - Valencia City |
|
|
The Host City of the 32nd America's Cup is
Valencia, located on Spain’s Mediterranean coastline. Its
excellent sailing conditions, the creation of a base
exclusively for the event, its great marine tradition and the
enormous organisational capacity of such a dynamic city have
all contributed to the choice of Valencia as the perfect place
to hold the first America’s Cup ever to be held in Europe.
For the organisers, one of the most important criteria for
choosing the host city was stable and reliable weather
conditions. Valencia, therefore, was an ideal choice, given
its regular thermal breezes: on good days, the Southeast wind
rises towards the end of the morning and continues to be
stable throughout the afternoon. You can almost set your watch
by it, which is why Valencia has sometimes been called the
"Mediterranean Fremantle" (but not quite as windy!).
The thermal breeze is regular in the summer months and the
statistics show that there are good sailing conditions on 90%
of the days.
The Mediterranean coast’s excellent weather is not
Valencia's only asset. It is the capital of the Valencia
Region and one of Europe’s fastest growing cities. It is a
historical, dynamic, modern and enterprising city where the
America’s Cup family, the Challenger’s bases and the
public and fans will enjoy the benefits of a special village
created specifically for them.
The two race areas are located less than 30 minutes from the
base and the races will be held crowd-pleasingly close to the
coast.
