historic cities like C\u00f3rdoba or Granada, so it\u2019s no wonder many tourists return again and again.<\/p>\n<p>Count yourself among them? Here\u2019s all the new things to see and do, and the new rules you need to be aware of.<\/p>\n<h2>A new museum dedicated to Manolo Vald\u00e9s in Valencia<\/h2>\n<p>The Espai Manole Vald\u00e9s in Valencia will open late 2026 or early 2027 at Pier 3 of Valencia\u2019s Central Park. <\/p>\n<p>This will be a specialised, free museum dedicated to the famous Valencian artist highlighting the connection to his home city. It will feature a permanent, rotating exhibition of rare and previously unseen sculptures and paintings, as well as key pieces, acting as both a conservation and cultural landmark. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy sculptures made with aluminium, wood, resin and bronze, as well as works reinterpreting classic art history figures with a playful, contemporary twist. <\/p>\n<h2>The return of the Sorolla Museum in Madrid<\/h2>\n<p>The Sorolla Museum in Madrid will open again in 2026, following its closure in October 2024 for extensive expansion and renovations. <\/p>\n<p>Joaquin Sorolla\u2019s very well-preserved and intimate house-studio features a huge collection of light-filled, impressionistic paintings, along with personal belongings, original furniture and a beautiful Andalusian-style garden designed by Sorolla himself. <\/p>\n<p>Marvel at the tools and paintbrushes that created popular paintings like Walk on the Beach and Swimmers before taking a breath in the peaceful oasis of the garden. <\/p>\n<h2>Formula 1 returns to Madrid<\/h2>\n<p>Madrid is taking over from Barcelona as the Spanish Grand Prix host later this year with the first race set to take place on 13 September. The new 5.416 kilometre circuit, dubbed the Madring, is centred around the IFEMA Exhibition Center.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Can the \u2018deadzoning\u2019 trend be a way to improve our wellbeing while travelling?<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">What to see in Rabat, the new World Book Capital, as a bibliophile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>A hybrid circuit, the track will be on both public roads and private land, allowing for a mix of street-style racing with permanent high-speed sections. Like many of the other spots on the calendar, visitors can expect other F1-related activities and entertainment in Madrid during the race weekend. <\/p>\n<p>It is expected to attract more than 85,000 tourists every year, with over 110,000 spectators per day. Capacity will increase in future years to 140,000. <\/p>\n<h2>A literary stay at The Hoxton, Madrid<\/h2>\n<p>The Hoxton Madrid, set to open this year, will be located on Plaza de Santa Ana in the heart of the city\u2019s Literary Quarter. <\/p>\n<p>Housed in a historic 19th-century building with a modernist facade dating back to the Belle Epoque, the hotel will have 192 rooms, a rooftop cocktail bar and a trattoria. <\/p>\n<p>It will be designed to blend the city\u2019s rich Moorish heritage with modern luxury, with a laid-back Havana-inspired concept and signature meeting and event spaces for intimate, creative gatherings. <\/p>\n<p>Travellers will also have easy access to the Reina Sof\u00eda and Prado museums. <\/p>\n<h2>A grounding escape at Vestige Biniduf\u00e0, Menorca<\/h2>\n<p>Vestige Biniduf\u00e0, an 11-key, 18th-century finca restored as a luxury retreat in Menorca launched in April this year. <\/p>\n<p>Designed to be a grounding experience, the hotel sits in a lush valley in an expansive 800-hectare estate shared by sister property Son Ermit\u00e0 and surrounded by Menorcan red earth.

It will then be extended to a maximum of five nights per stay. However, children and some disabled travellers could be exempt. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire
