Spain dubs almost everything by default. The fix is to look for V.O.S.E. (Versión Original Subtitulada en Español), original English audio with Spanish subtitles. Five cinemas in Valencia screen V.O.S.E. regularly in 2026.
Spanish cinemas dub almost everything in Castilian, including animated kids' films, blockbusters, and prestige dramas. To watch in English you need to find a screening labelled V.O.S.E. (Versión Original Subtitulada en Español) or just V.O. The audio is original; the subtitles are Spanish. A handful of Valencia cinemas program these screenings every week, some only on certain nights, others on every showtime.
