Valencia plans Ruzafa venue-hour limits and licence freeze under acoustic-zone proposal

Valencia city plans to adopt a measure for Ruzafa’s acoustically saturated zone, reportedly following a court ruling. The proposal would set closing times for leisure venues, including gaming halls and bingo venues, at 03:30 from Sunday to Thursday and 04:30 at weekends and before public holidays, and freeze new opening or expansion licences in the affected area. Business groups oppose the restrictions, citing potential economic effects.
