Best Neighborhoods to Live in Valencia, Spain - El Cabanyal, Grand Via, Russafa (Part 2)

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I can’t wait to go back and visit. I went to Valencia the first time in 1975 as a high school student. Franco was still alive, there was not an actual hotel in the entire city and half the roads were dirt. I loved it! Stayed close friends with my host family and have been back many times. Can’t wait to go after the pandemic. Thanks so much for showing the city. I’m really looking forward to getting back and hanging out with my friends.

Thank you 😊 you should spend some time in both. So many beautiful places in and outside Valencia.. hard to decide but it depends on your priorities and preferences!

[@anacasanova7350]

This is the 2nd of ur videos I’ve seen. And the better one. I will be working at a public school this next school year, an hour north. Been twice to Valencia. Been to Madrid 3 times and 4 times to Barcelona. My new favorite place is Valencia. Spent time exploring all the neighborhoods and wouldn’t want El Carmen or Carbyoñal (sp?). After my job is over, I’d consider relocating to Valencia. But will do a bit of traveling in my spare time as so many places still to see. Salamanca with Its University sound lively. I don’t want to live in touristy location, but want to be close by. Thinking of neighborhoods outside of Turia park circle.

[@cookmaster3626]

[@manchega56]

Observó que muchos norteamericanos desean un cambio de vida y venir a vivir a Europa. Vivir en el sur de Europa es distinto que vivir en el norte, el sur, no se si sera por la luz y el sol, las personas somos más calidas en general. Somos sociedades más comunitarias. En España hay muchas ciudades donde puede vivir estupendamente, ciudades costeras, más turísticas y ciudades del interior pero cercanas a la playas y ciudades del interior,menos pobladas, salvo Madrid, Zaragoza... Valencia es preciosa, pero también lo es Alicante, y ciudades de Andalucía, conozco Sevilla y me encantó, deben de ver que les interesa más en una ciudad, si turística, de ambiente universitario, cosmopolita, ...visita a la embajada de España o consulado para ver de venir a España legalmente y en las mejores condiciones

[@zafira976]

Thank you for your wonderful videos on Valencia! We are visiting for a month in December. May I know if the area near the Colon Market is safe and nice? I am not a fan of grafittis. Hope this area doesn’t have too much of that? Also, are there usually New Year’s Eve fireworks in Valencia? Your advice would be much appreciated.

[@tafareactions2823]

Fireworks in Valencia? I am from Valencia and I assure you that Valencians have gunpowder running through their veins. We celebrate almost everything with very large firecrackers, weddings, baptisms, football matches and any popular or religious event. And in the Fallas that take place in March, the maximum expression of pyrotechnics occurs throughout the month, every day there are fireworks.

[@avachan11]

Thank you! Hope there will be fireworks to welcome 2022!

[@octavisoler]

Hi. I'm from Valencia and the Colon Market area it's perfect. It's in the very center town, no graffiti as far as I remember, very nice, stately and elegant zone, and you can visit by foot everything. Valencia is a very safe city, and you can go everywhere with an absolute feeling of safety even at late hours at night. Maybe you have to keep an eye on your wallet in the fireworks, train station or crowded events, like every other touristic city. The Council organise a special event with fireworks on New Year's Eve, but the last one was deprogrammed because the Covid and it's uncertain what is going to happen this year.

[@avachan11]

Thank you so much for the useful info. Looking forward to enjoying a festive season in Valencia.

Hi, I'm Italian and I'm thinking of leaving Italy and moving to Spain. the cities that interest me are: Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Alicante. I'm alone, I'm 40 years old. I hope to find a small apartment, just for me, possibly for a partner who I will surely find too. so, I think a 50-60m2 apartment is ok. i want to change my life. I'm tired of Italy. I've been to Spain 4 times. Wonderful. much better than Italy. only problem is that i need to learn english better. I'm using the translator. it is ina beautiful language but very difficult for me. but it is very important to know English. wherever you go... you have to speak english. this video is very helpful.

In 1998, the local governent did not want to destroy a neighbourhood, they tried to connect Blasco Ibáñez avenue with the sea. The idea was to make a longer avenue, not to destroy anything. Please, get informed before giving such incorrect data.

Bien señalado Juan, lo mismo he dicho yo, a veces oyen algo, y se dice, y eso no es, saludos

That would be a great idea, Juan! I think I would tear down part of El Cabanyal for Blasco Ibáñez and then divide El Cabanyal into North Cabanyal and South Cabanyal.
