What a Paterna IP address tells you
Paterna's presence in the registry is colocation only, with no exchange and no peers recorded in the town. Three facilities hold 38 network presences, and NIXVAL Datacenter accounts for 33 of them, ahead of Templus DC Valencia VAL01 with four and Plexval Datacenter with one. Because there is no local exchange, none of Spain's mobile carriers, Movistar on AS3352, Orange Spain on AS12479 and Vodafone Spain on AS12430, peers here; networks in these buildings reach each other through transit or through exchanges in other cities.
An address that geolocates to Paterna comes from a registry record rather than a measurement of the device. One of the three facilities here is recorded as Templus DC Valencia VAL01, and geolocation databases following operator records can report addresses from the area as Valencia rather than Paterna. Spanish mobile ranges weaken the town label further, since operators announce them nationally and funnel subscriber traffic out through a small number of gateways that need not be near Paterna.
Anyone checking an address should read the origin ASN and the netname on the prefix. A block originating from AS3352, AS12479 or AS12430 is mobile and covers Spain as a whole, so its town field is a registration detail. A block held by one of the 38 network presences in NIXVAL Datacenter, Templus DC Valencia VAL01 or Plexval Datacenter ties back to a building the registry names, which is more specific than the town a database prints.

Questions
Is there an internet exchange in Paterna?
No. PeeringDB records no exchange and zero peers in Paterna. The town appears in the registry through three colocation facilities holding 38 network presences, so networks based there carry traffic to exchanges in other cities rather than meeting locally.
Which data centres are in Paterna?
PeeringDB lists three. NIXVAL Datacenter holds 33 networks, Templus DC Valencia VAL01 four and Plexval Datacenter one, which is 38 network presences in total. NIXVAL Datacenter accounts for most of what the registry records in the town.
Does an IP that geolocates to Paterna mean the device is there?
No. The town comes from the location an operator published for the address block, and databases repeat it. A device on a Spanish mobile network can hold such an address from anywhere in the country, because subscriber traffic leaves through a few gateways rather than from the town on the record.
