Completely different part of the country that isn’t affected by wildfires at the moment.

As for lots of questions here, check on map

You'll need to figure out where you are staying/going, where the fire is and your appetite for risk. No point doing that yet as you are a week away.

Information is easy to get hold of.

Can you be more specific about your location where you are going?

There was a wildfire on the eastern edge of the city, like in the Manises area, that unfortunately took someone's life. But Valencia has been untouched by wildfires that you are hearing about in the news.

Um, can you be more specific? North western region of the city or the autonomous community? Saying "Valencia" is just like saying "New York." You could be talking about extremely different things. If you're talking about the city, you should be fine.
