Snapshot

Estadio Mestalla | Built in 2011
The Estadio Mestalla has a capacity of 55,000 making it the 5th largest stadium in Spain. With its steep terracing it is renowned for being one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Europe.
At some point in the near future the team is expected to move into a new home called the Nou Mestalla, which will have 75,000 capacity, but due to the financial crisis at Valencia it is hard to say when building work will be completed.
Tickets / Where to sit
Tickets are available and range between €20-75 and can be purchased on the club's official website, www.valenciacf.es.

Getting to Estadio Mestalla
Train
The stadium is not too far from Estacion del Norte, which is a train station located near the city centre. From the station you could get a taxi or walk 2 mins to Ayuntamiento square and get on bus line 10 which stops at Aragón Avenue opposite the stadium.
Alternatively, you could get bus line number 80 from the main coach station to Aragón Avenue.
Car
If you're travelling to the stadium by car the Mestalla is about a 12km journey from the airport to the stadium. The address is: Antiga Senda de Senent numéro 11, 46023 Valencia.
Parking
Should not be too difficult. The stadium sits in the more underdeveloped area of Valencia so it should be possible to find a space.

Valencia Songs
Per ofrenar noves glòries a Espanya
tots a una veu, germans, vingeu.
Ja en el taller i en el camp remoregen
càntics d'amor, himnes de pau!
Pas a la regió
que avança en marxa triomfal!
Per a tu la vega envia
la riquesa que atresora
i es la veu de l'aigua càntics d'alegria
acordats al ritme de guitarra mora.
Paladins de l'art t'ofrenen
ses victòries gegantines;
i als teus peus, sultana, tos jardins estenen
un tapís de murta i de roses fines.
Brinden fruites daurades
els paradisos de les riberes;
pengen les arracades
baix les arcades de les palmeres.
Sona la veu amada
i en potentíssim, vibrant ressò,
notes de nostra albada
canten les glòries de la regió
Valencians en peu alcem-se.
Que nostra veu
la llum salude d'un sol novell.
Per a ofrenar noves glòries a Espanya
tots a una veu, germans, vingeu.
Ja en el taller i en el camp remoregen
càntics d'amor, himnes de pau!
Flamege en l'aire nostra Senyera!
Glòria a la Pàtria!
Visca València!
Visca! Visca! Visca!
English
So as to offer new glories to Spain,
all of one voice, brothers, come here.
You can already hear in the workshops and in the fields
songs of love and hymns of peace!
Yield to the Region that
advances in a triumphal march!
The plainlands send you
all the wealth they have been treasuring,
and the voice of the water is a song of joy
in tune with the rhythm of a Moorish guitar.
Paladins offer you the art
won on their giant victories;
and at your feet, Sultana, your gardens extend
to create a tapestry of myrtle and fine roses.
Golden fruit is brandished by
the paradises alongside the banks;
earrings hanging
underneath the boughs
of the palm trees.
The beloved voice can be heard
echoing very loudly and vibrantly;
Notes from our dawnbreak
sing out about the glories of the region.
Valencians, let's get up on our feet.
Let our voice
greet the light of a new sun.
So as to offer new glories to Spain,
all of one voice, brothers, come here.
You can already hear in the workshops and in the fields
songs of love and hymns of peace!
Fluttering in the wind is our Senyera (Valencian flag)!
Glory to the Fatherland!
Long live Valencia!
Long live! Long live! Long live!
