Carles Vilarrubí, President of the company, together with some members of the Valencia Government and the City Council shall organize the event in 2010 for the second time. After the success in the first year, the eyes of the equestrian world shall be on Valencia once again from the 7th until the 9th of May.

The City of Arts and Sciences is a facility designed by the famous architects Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, located at the end of the old mouth of the Turia river. Presently, it is the city’s best asset in terms of tourism. The competition will be take place in the area surrounding the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum and just like last year the lake will be transformed into the arena.

Hosting the Global Champions Tour adds to Valencia record of great sport events: The America’s Cup in sailing, motor racing's Formula 1 European Grand Prix and a tennis Master Series tournament. The city of Valencia, capital of the Comunidad Valenciana, is located on the Mediterranean coast. Its geographical situation in the Iberian Peninsula and ranking as the third most important Spanish city make Valencia a place of great opportunities for communication within the country and with major international destinations.
