Google Flights captures for LHR, JFK, DXB, NRT, SIN and SYD returned unrelated route cards (for example Madrid-Lisbon from EUR 40, Barcelona-Palma from EUR 32, Malaga-Milan from EUR 37) rather than usable long-haul fares to Valencia. Price the Valencia leg directly with an airline or booking engine and treat any fare figure as unverified. Plan arrival for 19 October 2026 ahead of the 19-21 October conference at Barcelo Valencia Hotel.
