Valencia Irish Cultural Association
The Valencia Irish Cultural Association (VICA) is a welcoming community dedicated to celebrating and sharing Irish culture in Valencia. Through music, dance, language, and social gatherings, VICA creates a space where people can connect, learn, and enjoy the rich traditions of Ireland.
At the heart of VICA is its diverse and international community. While rooted in Irish culture, the Association brings together people from across Spain and around the world. Members and participants come not only from Ireland and Valencia, but also from countries such as England, the United States, Peru, Russia, Poland, Canada, Turkey, and many others. This global mix adds a unique dimension to every session, event, and gathering.
VICA is more than a cultural association—it is a meeting point for people of all backgrounds who share a curiosity and appreciation for Irish traditions. Through its activities and groups, the Association fosters a sense of belonging, encourages cultural exchange, and builds lasting connections that extend far beyond Valencia.
