First, is Valencia in Venezuela, not Spain

Second, visual approach at that airport itīs a pain, look at videos on youtube or forums in the area, they all report that landing over there is an accident to happen as there are no radio aids (VOR, ILS, NDB.....) Mountain area, low clouds and conditions change within seconds.

Third, I shoot more visual approaches than many around here, itīs an approach that not so many know how to do nowadays in europe and in many airports around you need to have visual contact with the terrain or go away.
