The America's Cup in Europe has opened up countless new opportunities to the sailing world's pinnacle event. Not least of which was a bid process to identify the Host City for the 32nd America's Cup.
Valencia, Spain's third city, won that bid for several reasons, among them the fantastically reliable sailing conditions generated by a regular sea breeze environment, as well as a commitment to build sufficient infrastructure to host the America's Cup at a level befitting one of the world's premiere events.
Part of that infrastructure is Port America's Cup - with its brand new 700-berth marina right at the heart of the Cup action and literally minutes from the race course area - "the stadium".
