This privileged location is perfect for the teams to move to their headquarters without needing to use private transport. In addition, the spirit of the Volvo Ocean Race is lived in a very special way throughout the historic center of Alicante, so the motivation is maximum. Sea and Sports are in all corners!

We remind you that, although the race will start on the 22nd, from Wednesday 11 October you can visit the Race Village and know firsthand the history of this legendary competition. In addition, this year the teams have prepared something very special for the fans: their mobile headquarters will remain open so anyone can visit them and see in person how the sailors prepare for the toughest sailing competition in the world.

In the Village, which is located in the port, you will also have the opportunity to see the emblematic Volvo Ocean 65, the boats that have crowned the best teams in history.
