Edificio Veles e Vents

A visual link between the Mediterranean Sea and the city, this minimalist building is the emblem of the port that serves the America's Cup. It is located to the left of the new port access channel. With its maritime name (literally, the Sails and Winds Building), the building is the work of British architect David Chipperfield. It pays tribute to the Valencian poet Ausias March and the singer Raimon, also a Valencian, who set his poems to music. Its long and spacious terraces offer a front row view of the progress of vessels participating in the race.

Address: Americas Cup Port.
