Taxi associations across the Valencian Community will stage a 24-hour strike from 06:00 on 25 February until the same time on 26 February, with rolling demonstrations through Valencia’s main arteries and a rally outside the Palau de la Generalitat. (eldebate.com)
Drivers are protesting what they call “hidden liberalisation” of ride-hailing services (VTCs) after a recent court ruling and are demanding the regional government fast-track a decree to restore parity between taxis and VTC operators. Only minimal services for medical emergencies and passengers with reduced mobility will run.
![24-hour taxi strike to hit Valencia on 25 February, disrupting airport and rail transfers]()
The stoppage coincides with Spain’s winter conference season and could snarl ground transport to Valencia Airport as well as Joaquín Sorolla and Nord train stations. Corporate travel managers should pre-book private transfers, arrange car-pooling or advise employees to use metro lines where available.
If travel plans also require visa or documentation support, VisaHQ can streamline that process: their Spain portal (https://www.visahq.com/spain/) offers quick, step-by-step guidance so visitors can secure the right paperwork well before arrival, avoiding any last-minute hassles that a transport strike might otherwise compound.
Industry body Antaxi warns of further actions in March if regulations are not clarified, raising the spectre of intermittent disruptions leading into Easter. Companies with logistics operations in Valencia’s port area should also monitor traffic bulletins, as convoy-style protests could cause temporary road closures.
