The essentials
Address
Calle Gregorio Gea 15, 46009 Valencia
Neighborhood & metro
Between Extramurs and Marxalenes, just outside Ciutat Vella and close to the Turia gardens. Nearest metro: Turia (lines 1 and 2), a few minutes' walk.
Size & feel
A renovated mid-sized hall with comfortable seating and a close-to-the-stage feel, plus an outdoor terrace that comes into its own on summer nights.
Type & programming
Stand-up and comedy monologues, musicals, concerts and a strong line-up of children's and family shows, in both small and large formats.
About the venue
The Flumen opened in 1958 as a continuous-session cinema, later turned art-house screen and popular summer terrace, and went dark in 2007. A full renovation brought it back to life in 2010 as the independent theatre it is today.
Its programming is deliberately broad: local stand-up comedians, touring musicals, concerts and dramatic works share the calendar, alongside a regular line-up of family shows.
It remains a proudly local venue, with a regular Valencian crowd and a summer terrace that nods to the building's open-air cinema past.
