No matter how well-composed the photo may be, Candlelight concerts in Valencia are just like the moon: they’re even more breathtaking in person. And we’re not talking “just” about the thousands of candles or the intimate live music (though there are many more reasons), but about the incredible venues chosen for their concerts. Iconic venues like the Ateneo Mercantil, which, for one night, are covered in countless points of light.

An imposing building where Candlelight concerts find a unique setting (not only for the panoramic views from its observation deck) and which is easily accessible via the Xátiva metro station and various bus lines.
