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. Several cinemas in and around Valencia regularly screen films in V.O.S.E., while others offer original-language screenings only occasionally.
Spanish cinemas dub most mainstream releases into Castilian. To watch a film in English, look for V.O.S.E. (Versión Original Subtitulada en Español) and check that the original language is English. Several Valencia cinemas offer V.O.S.E. regularly, while others only schedule it occasionally.
To see what is actually on this week, whatson.movie lists Valencia showtimes with a filter for original-version screenings, free and without an account.
