I spent a year living in Valencia and it is an absolutely incredible city! I cannot recommend it highly enough. I never ran out of things to do, and it was so nice to see so many places that I remember from my time there. As someone who has been all over Spain, nowhere beats Valencia for paella, horchata, orange juice, or Agua de Valencia! As a young person who lived in Valencia, I also have to agree with Mark that the nightlife is pretty great. It's simply incredible and I'm so glad that the Wolters made their way there!

I am a native Valencian and though I mostly agree about the things you said, I would recommend you visit the smaller towns around Valencia to get a more local feel. Recently I have seen a TON of english speaking foreigners either visiting or living here for a bit, so it is becoming a sort of international melting pot. Which is definetly nice, but most of the 'typical valencian' stuff you see in the city are touristy traps. Try out smaller towns like El Saler, Xàtiva, Sueca, etc, to get to actually see local culture.

We fell in love with this city back in 2019, now we are taking the kids there in October and then getting our visas to move there next year. We have been all over and this is by far our most favorite city.

Was deciding where to go in Spain, sounds like Valencia is the place to go over Barcelona and Madrid. Needing some sunshine, warmth, and beaches after a cold winter in Poland

We live in Valencia and create videos about Valencia, we agree with you! It truly is an amazing city, it really has it all. Thank you for the great video! 😊

Been there 3 times for Las Fallas. Best street party ever. And for your US audience, temps in Fahrenheit as well as Celsius might be helpful.

We purchased a flat in Valencia 3 years ago! The city has so much to offer and you hit it all….climate, affordability, beach, fantastic cuisine/restaurant scene, authenticity…still feels like authentic old Spain, not as touristic as Barcelona or Madrid. Regarding the homeless in the Turia park…it seems as though there was a high increase right after Covid started. Maybe more people struggling with surviving financially during this crisis. Planning to return for Fallas!

My husband and I just signed a lease for an apartment in Valéncia yesterday! So excited for our next chapter there. Having never actually been, this video was helpful! 🤣

I studied abroad in Spain in college very close to Valencia, and enjoyed many weekends in this lovely city. Thanks for sharing! Just realized how much I’ve missed it.

Love Valencia. We went a couple years ago and fell in love with the city and its people. We can't wait to go back.

[jocettebrey]

I will definitely include this place in my bucket list. I love love Spain! So far I visited Seville, Jerez, and Cadiz.

Valencia was one of the few places I've visited where you could gladly move there. Feels very safe and family friendly, lots to do, the park is awesome. Never noticed the problems in the park at night when we went, but we went pre COVID

We stopped there on our cruise in December 2021 and I fell in love. Definitely want to go back for a more extended time. Thanks for the recommendations. Love your videos.

Thanks for this awesome video. We moved to Valencia almost four years ago and still love it. It's a great city for all ages and has become a melting pot. The cost of living is great too.

[Andy]

Been there almost 2 years ago and really liked it ! And you’re totally right on the weather. Every day was sunny.

[sniffrat]

If you're learning Spanish check out the amazing language exchange scene in Valencia. Great for meeting people!

I accidentally came upon the las fallas when they held it in September 2021. Was so confused at first but it was amazing!
