Real Club Náutico de Valencia

"Founded 1903. The original private nautical club of Valencia — old money, sailing families, maritime industrialists. The Marina district has been transformed by the America's Cup infrastructure but the Náutico predates all of it and operates on a different register entirely. The kind of institution where the membership list is more useful than the facilities. Best use: If you're introduced here, you've been introduced to the city's original operator class."
