Walking in the Footsteps of L. Ron Hubbard: Scientologists Revisit Historic Sites in Valencia and Alicante

Published

on

Valencia, Spain, 8th May 2025— A group of over 100 Scientologists from the United States, Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, and other countries came together in late April for a powerful journey through the cities of Valencia and Alicante, revisiting the historic locations where their religion’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, once walked and worked. More than just a sightseeing tour, this four-day event became a spiritual and cultural pilgrimage — connecting past and present, belief and heritage.

Walking in the Footsteps of L. Ron Hubbard: Scientologists Revisit Historic Sites in Valencia and Alicante

Spain is fast becoming a remarkable destination for religious tourism, not only for its centuries-old Christian heritage, but also for contemporary spiritual movements whose historical roots in the country are beginning to attract global attention. One such movement is the Church of Scientology, whose founder, L. Ron Hubbard, spent time in Spain in the 1950s, ‘60s and ’70ies. His presence has left an enduring legacy that today inspires pilgrimages and spiritual journeys by Scientologists from across the world.

It is now becoming traditional that groups of Scientologists from around the world travel to locations in Spain where Mr. L. Ron Hubbard lived, worked, or passed through. Their itinerary has already included the Canary Islands, Seville and now Valencia, where Hubbard is known to have developed parts of his religious philosophy during his maritime period. These travellers are not mere tourists; for them, it is a form of spiritual reconnection — a way to walk in the footsteps of their founder and deepen their understanding of his teachings.

Walking in the Footsteps of L. Ron Hubbard: Scientologists Revisit Historic Sites in Valencia and Alicante
 

Rediscovering Valencia’s Role in Scientology’s History

The experience began in Valencia, where participants — staying at the elegant Only YOU Hotel — attended an opening briefing on L. Ron Hubbard’s visit to the city in the late 1960s. Valencia occupies a unique place in the history of Scientology: it was here, aboard the ship Royal Scotman docked in the city’s harbor, that some of the highest spiritual levels of Scientology available at the time were delivered. Parishioners from across the globe came to study these advanced teachings, and the legacy of that era still resonates deeply within the Church today.

The tour then took the group through the heart of Valencia, beginning with the medieval Serranos Towers and continuing through the city’s many iconic churches and historic sites. For many participants, the architecture, history, and vibrant atmosphere of the city offered a striking contrast to the inner contemplation that often accompanies spiritual journeys.

Celebrating a Spiritual Legacy by the Sea

On the second day, the group gathered at the Duna Puerto restaurant at the Valencia harbour for lunch. This was no ordinary venue — the harbour is the very place where the Royal Scotman docked in 1968. A group photo commemorated this significant moment, as the visitors honoured the historical role Valencia played in their movement’s development.

That evening, celebrations continued at the elegant Masia Xamandreu estate. A lively program of flamenco dancers and Spanish performers set the tone for an unforgettable evening, complete with a traditional Spanish dinner.

 

Alicante and the Spirit of Continuing Exploration

On Sunday, the group travelled to Alicante, another coastal city tied to the journey of the Apollo, which moved there for three months in 1968. Participants visited the hotel where many Scientologists once were hosted during that time, taking a group photo in front of the site to honour its role in Scientology’s expansion.

Following a traditional lunch at La Dársena restaurant on the marina, the tour moved to the Santa Barbara Castle, offering panoramic views of Alicante and the Mediterranean. The evening closed with a dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant just below the castle — a fitting end to a day of reflection, history, and fellowship.

An Emotional Closing in Albufera

The final day brought the group to the Natural Park of l’Albufera, just south of Valencia. At La Barraca del Palmar — a traditional Valencian hut surrounded by orange groves — attendees enjoyed a rustic lunch with a real paella and quiet contemplation. The emotional highlight of the day came with the arrival of Emilio M., a local man who had worked as a steward aboard the Apollo in 1968. Emilio shared vivid stories of caring for L. Ron Hubbard’s cabin and interacting with the Captain during his three-month stay. Though now elderly, his memories were filled with warmth and reverence, offering the group a powerful first-hand account of a pivotal moment in their history.

Religious Tourism in Spain: More Than History

Events like this underscore the broader value of religious tourism in Spain. The country has long been a destination for spiritual travelers — from pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago to visitors exploring Moorish mosques, Gothic cathedrals, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and, increasingly, modern spiritual sites tied to newer religious movements. Religious tourism enriches local economies and fosters cross-cultural understanding, especially as visitors like these Scientologists engage with Spain’s historical and cultural heritage while deepening their own faith journeys.

Humanitarian Work in Valencia, Spain

The international Scientology pilgrims where also informed of the impact their donations and their local coreligionists had in the latest disaster that hit Valencia at the end of 2024 through the beginning of 2025. It was a vivid example of this commitment during the devastating DANA storm (uncontrolled floods) that struck Valencia in October 2024. As torrential rains led to serious flooding and disruption across the region, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers — identifiable by their bright yellow shirts — quickly mobilized in coordination with local and international rescue organizations.

In partnership with the renowned Mexican search and rescue team “Los Topos,” the Volunteer Ministers provided support in the hardest-hit areas of Valencia and its surroundings. Their work included clearing debris, assisting elderly residents, distributing supplies, and providing spiritual support to those traumatized by the event. Their presence was noted in various press and local community reports, and praised by affected citizens who saw in them a reliable and caring force in the midst of disaster.

Beyond this specific event, the Volunteer Ministers continue to serve in various humanitarian efforts throughout Spain, upholding their motto: “Something can be done about it.” Whether offering help to communities during crises or assisting individuals in day-to-day challenges, their role as an active expression of Scientology’s values was echoed throughout the pilgrimage, as many attendees shared personal accounts of their own service as Volunteer Ministers.

A Journey Etched in Memory

As the tour concluded, participants left with more than photographs and souvenirs. They carried with them a renewed appreciation for the spiritual roots of their movement, a sense of global community, and deep memories of the places and people that shaped their faith. In revisiting the paths of L. Ron Hubbard through Valencia and Alicante, they not only honored history — they made it live again.

Petsy Place Launches Summer Savings Event as Pet Owners Prioritize Design Wellness and Functionality

Published

on

United States, 30th Jun 2025 – In a pet care market driven by innovation, design, and emotional attachment, Petsy Place is stepping into summer with a major retail move: a storewide 20% discount on all items, giving pet owners affordable access to luxury-grade essentials.

The announcement comes as pet spending continues to climb globally, with new consumer data showing that pet parents are spending more per animal—not just on food and healthcare, but on furniture, apparel, and tech. Recognizing this cultural shift, Petsy Place has tailored its offerings to meet the evolving preferences of pet lovers.

“This isn’t about pampering,” says a support team member from Petsy Place. “It’s about integrating pets into the modern lifestyle—providing them with environments, tools, and experiences that reflect how much they matter in our daily lives.”

Known for products that combine style and utility, Petsy Place has curated a comprehensive collection that includes modern fish tanks, ergonomic bird cages, durable cat tree houses, and safety-focused dog booster seats. Items are available under its signature categories such as Purrfect Products and Pawsome Pets.

The store’s focus on design-driven functionality has earned it praise from both first-time and long-term customers. Ally Travis remarked that she “found everything [she] needed and then some,” while Gabriel James noted the “wide variety of popular and premium products that consistently exceed expectations.”

But it’s not just product design fueling customer loyalty—it’s the overall experience. From express delivery and secure payment options to an industry-leading free return policy, the company has built a reputation for reliability and service in an otherwise fragmented online pet supply landscape.

Its content strategy also helps differentiate the brand. Educational blog posts like “Can Cats Eat Human Food?” and “Spring Grooming Tips” attract both curious pet owners and loyal followers, creating a community-driven shopping environment that encourages thoughtful purchases.

While some discounts extend up to 89% for select overstock and seasonal products, the brand maintains a clear identity. “Our mission is clear: quality first, always,” the support team adds. “The current sale is a celebration of that—making top-tier products reachable without losing what makes them special.”

Petsy Place’s operational approach includes a responsive support system and close attention to packaging and delivery, contributing to its standing as a go-to destination for luxury pet essentials at reasonable prices.

Experts point out a growing demand for stylish, durable pet products. “People are home more, and they’re including pets in their design choices,” notes a recent industry trend report. “Spaces are being shared, and people want supplies that look good and last.”

Petsy Place continues to prioritize customer satisfaction—ensuring that every visitor to its site feels seen, supported, and celebrated, whether shopping for a cat tower or simply browsing for inspiration.

Nectaren Embraces Sentimental Shopping Trends with Symbolic Story-Driven Products

Published

on

UNITED STATES – June 27, 2025 – As consumers increasingly favor personalized and emotionally meaningful products over generic mass-market items, online retailer Nectaren is gaining recognition for its thoughtful approach to modern retail.

The platform has curated a range of accessories and keepsakes designed to resonate on a personal level. Popular items such as charm bracelets, symbolic keychains, and meaningful pendant necklaces are topping Nectaren’s bestseller list—not due to fleeting trends, but because they help customers express identity, connection, and values in subtle but powerful ways.

“This isn’t just fashion,” said a Nectaren spokesperson. “These are personal symbols. They represent tradition, unity, memory, and even healing. For many customers, a small accessory can hold deep meaning.”

Affordability and accessibility remain central to Nectaren’s appeal. With items like handcrafted ornaments, lapel pins, and themed headbands priced as low as $2–$5, the platform makes it easy for consumers to find meaningful gifts and self-expression tools without exceeding their budgets. Many products come with discounts exceeding 70%, making the emotional experience of giving and sharing more inclusive.

In an era where many are reevaluating their spending habits, these low-cost, high-impact items have gained popularity across social platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users are embracing minimalist and symbolic aesthetics.

Retail analysts note a broader shift in consumer behavior: people are gravitating toward products that tell a story—items that serve not only as decorations or accessories but also as keepsakes and conversation starters. From educators to entrepreneurs, a wide variety of shoppers are turning to these items for classroom displays, gift-giving, and personal décor.

Nectaren’s strategy taps into a growing cultural desire for connection. At a time when headlines are often filled with division and economic uncertainty, many consumers are turning to brands that offer authenticity and meaning.

By aligning its catalog with these values, Nectaren is carving out a unique space in today’s competitive retail market—proving that purpose-driven brands can succeed by focusing on emotional value rather than just volume.
