What's happening in Valencia right now?

WannaNow is a free app that shows you, on a live map, what's going on around you in Valencia, Spain. Gigs starting in an hour, a one-day flea market, an exhibition closing tomorrow, street music in El Carmen — the things that never make it into a guidebook, in one place.

Why WannaNow

Stop scrolling. Start going.

What's on in Valencia is scattered across city agendas, venue websites and Instagram stories that vanish after 24 hours. WannaNow puts it all on one map and answers the only question that matters when you want to go out now: what can I do right now, near me?

Opens in two seconds

Open the app and the map is already showing what's around you, each plan with the colour of its category.

NOW: only what's on

Tap NOW and you only see events happening right now and places that are open — the app knows their opening hours.

FREE: only free plans

Tap FREE to keep just the free stuff: street music, open-air concerts, free museums, markets.

Built on Google Maps

Events and places (bars, museums, restaurants) on a map you already know how to use.

Spontaneous plans

Anyone can share what they're seeing in 3–4 seconds. User plans disappear after 2 hours, so the map is always fresh.

Live search

Type a word — jazz, market, paella — and the map filters as you type.

🇪🇸 Heads-up: The app is in Spanish for now — but it is essentially a map with icons, colours and two filters (NOW and FREE), so it is easy to use even if you don't speak Spanish. More languages are planned.

How it works

Two screens. That's it.

  1. Map — discover what's around you. Switch between Eventos (events, with a date and time) and Lugares (places worth a visit any day).
  2. Filter by one of 8 categories, by FREE or by NOW, or pick a date in the calendar to plan ahead.
  3. Publicar (post) — share a plan you're at: category, title, photo, free or paid, time. Done.
  4. Before you head out, check if others have tapped «Sigue ahí» (“still there”) to confirm the plan is still on.
8 categories
