Surprisingly, Valencia, Spain's third-largest city, gives its citizens a small-town vibe. This is one of the main factors luring expats to retire in Spain. Due to its pleasant climate, fascinating local culture, and convenient location for travel throughout Spain and the rest of Europe, Valencia is a terrific city to call home. It is a port city on the Mediterranean Sea's Gulf of Valencia. You now enjoy all the advantages of living in the Mediterranean region and the travel opportunities it provides, which is significant.
Valencia doesn't have high housing costs; in fact, it has some of the lowest in all of Europe. Like other Spanish cities, Barcelona offers affordable, high-quality public transportation and restaurants, while maintaining affordable rent and home rates.
Valencia has a lot to offer in terms of culture. There are many unique taverns, cafes, and restaurants to visit for individuals who prefer dining out. Here, seafood is well-liked, and there is no shortage of excellent beer or wine to pair with it.
The nightlife in Valencia is well-known throughout Spain. If you prefer a more "cultured" experience, there are concert halls, theaters, and outdoor cinemas if clubbing isn't really your thing.
The city is composed of a number of modern structures in addition to a medieval core. It takes no time at all to go from Valencia's Cathedral to the Museu de les Ciencies Principe Felipe, and you'll feel as though you're in a whole different city.
In summary, Valencia is a city that provides a unique fusion of energy, culture, and a laid-back way of life. This makes it appealing to a wide range of people and contributes to the reason it is a favorite expat destination. There are several crucial factors to take into account before deciding to live in Valencia as an expat.

In Spain, medical data is centralized and this history can be consulted by both private and public doctors. This system makes the treatment of any of them more efficient. On the other hand, the medicines that both prescribe go both to the health card number and to the user's own identification document. In this way, pharmacies can obtain medication information using both cards.

Love the video. I've enjoyed watching your journey. One point I'd disagree with is the variety of food. We've found a much larger variety of food within a small area compared to our city in the US. We've eaten Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Moroccan, Mexican, American, Thai, and Indian. With a quick Google search we've found anything we want and more. They may not all be on the same street, but most things are 15 minutes or less by bus / metro. I'm only commenting because we've been talking about how much we love the variety of food so I was surprised at your comment.

Hey thanks for watching! ☺️ I guess we didn’t express ourselves well. Yes you can find Japanese, Thai, etc in almost any part of the city, but we find that only a handful really blew us away.

the reason behind 'our siesta' is exactly that... why would u open your store between 14 to 17h... it.s hot, and you.ll still have the whole afternoon to do business. what u call 'dinning experiencr' is, from my point of view, the Spanish biggest secret.. we named as SOBREMESA.

@davidpoves8831 Жыл бұрын
Siesta is a custom that is older than stores opening times. Yes, the answer has to do with the heat, but the origin comes from farmers from centuries past. Working the fields during the middle of the day would be a very easy and unnecessary way to die. Even today there are times when builders and other outdoor workers have died of heat exhaustion. Farmers would stop the work, eat their food and lie under the shade until the heat would have subsided and then continue working. They would take a nap and rest and that is basically something that we have taken with us to modern times. There is a survival/well-being reason for it, nothing to do with the shop opening times. Shops, schools and workplaces have inherited that custom to the current times. It has a huge impact on hours spent outside of the house, as the workday is broken and lengthen compared to other countries. Not completely positive in terms of work/life balance and it also forces us to have completely mental eating times. I personally enjoy Asian food a lot, but I have found that many of the Japanese/Korean restaurants are actually Chinese staffed and it might be a bit of restaurateurs trying to fit trends rather than being authentic. What I think that has been a big change is that sourcing exotic ingredients for home cooking isn't as difficult as it once was. I have only seen this video of yours, but because of the footage you seem to be living or spending a lot of time around Ruzafa. :) I hope you keep having a great time. ^^

@@davidpoves8831 thank you for jogging our memory! We learned about siesta in history class in elementary so it’s been a while, but it definitely makes sense to stop working when conditions become too harsh. As for restaurants, yes authentic Asian food is hard to find, there’s plenty of fusion ones. Thank you for the well wishes, we are enjoying our time in the city!

Very informative. Just one question. Did you live in the Philippines before? Do you think it is hotter there in Valencia (or Spain in general, like Madrid and Barcelona) than the Philippines during summer? One of my considerations where in Spain is to find a place where it is not unbearably hot for my Chow Chows. I would want to find something with an AC but just wanting to know that. And hopefully once I get in Valencia (still undecided where) I could meet you. Awesome!
@EverythingIsBoffo 6 ай бұрын
Hi! Lived in the Philippines for 27 years, and been back in November 2021. I would say the heat is the same for summer. The rest of the time weather is pleasant. There around 2 weeks in August that’s unbearably hot even at night🥵, and since we don’t have a car we’re out walking or taking public transport so it’s more noticeable. So for those 2 weeks you’ll probably have your AC on all day and just walk the dogs at night.

To live in, I really love the ruzafa area because of how central it is. To invest maybe cabanyal area because I do love the beach. ☺️

Stay in your own country, we are fed up of expats and vultures exploiting our city. You are not welcome and will not feel welcome in Valencia. Attacks against them and tourists are increasing every day.

HELP !!! lol Paul, Bea or anyone lol, Do you guys travel to the U.S. often ? I was wondering why Valencia ? My wife and I are planning to obtain a second home in Spain, would love to move full time there but have my 2 daughters and 5 grand kids here, so the plan is to stay 3 months in each country, originally the choices were Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia or Alicante. I found Madrid to busy for me plus no beaches so it was cross out, Alicante is beautiful but I think after a wile it will be boring, but most important I was leaning to Barcelona due to the international airport and flies to Florida in U.S., but everyone keeps saying how great Valencia is for xpats. can you please share why you guys choose Valencia?

Hey Joe! No, we don’t travel back and forth but I know a few who do and have chosen Valencia as their home. It’s well-connected and also has a beach. Thanks for watching!

Valencia is well connected... Mainly to other European destinations. The city is large, nearly 800 thousand inhabitants and over 1.5 million considering the hinterland, but not as massive as Barcelona of 1.5 million and nearly 3 million in the hinterland. Barcelona is more expensive, but more international. A minority of people only speak catalán, even if you want to put to the test your progress in Spanish. The sand beach is great and no far off there is a massive mountain chain. In Valencia, the feeling is more provincial, but valencian speakers would do their upmost to help you in English if they feel confident. València is the favourite city for expats and digital Nomads due to its cultural activities, beaches, and lively nightlife. In the 1980s, after regaining democracy in the 1970s, there was a disco crawl called "la ruta del bakalao". Dance until you drop.

Joe, do not discard Madrid, you have to live far fromnthe city center, even on a city around Madrid, you could have a great time, and at the sMe time take advantage of a great city with lots of services and transportation means.

Where do you study spanish language? And do they have a program for this as integration or you have to pay for it yourself?

We took a Spanish101 course at the local community college before we left the US. There’s plenty of schools here in Spain, some universities offer a 9-month course for around 25€. Some smaller schools charge 75-100€ month. Some do 1 on 1 tutoring, or language exchange.

Thanks for the video! Would you advise for our family to get language training from where we live or we can move to Spain and just take courses there?

A strong passion for languages was born in me but I'm not good at it, I don't know if my fatigue is connected to my being sensitive, introverted and blocked or not because I noticed that most people can study languages easily , I don't know if they were all born with the innate predisposition and I together with the minority are the only losers who don't have it and if you need to have a talent not to struggle with languages

I don’t think most really learned in the first place. Our parents said they had to learn spanish in university, so they didn’t speak it as children. It is a shame, it’s a useful language to know.
