I’m NEVER leaving Spain. NEVER leaving Valencia. It’s such a perfect city.
Bingo !
Turkish people are more conservative than spaniards. In my opinion, when you move to a country, you should consider the folk psychology and the beliefs of the people here. For example, i would choose to live in Spain, because I would have more in common with the people there.
Exactly... and Istanbul is not Turkey.
Explain
I visited Istambul for 15 days as a tourist. It is a really nice city, I really enjoined it. However, I love Valencia, I fell in love with the city, and I completely agree with you that Valencia is a highly underated city. From my perspective, you have a beautiful beach near the city, you heve a really good university and people is really friendly (what else ?).
Wow so many people in Istanbul, Valencia would be my pick too!! Great video!!
Valencia exelente ciudad para vivir.Lo tiene todo!!!!!!Ni grande ni pequena pero tan agradable!!!!!Claro depende lo que busque,cada persona tiene sus gustos.Para mi,si vienes con hijos de otro pais y quieres instalarte en Espana.Valencia te ofrece calidad de vida.
Valencia te recibe con los brazos abiertos, pero nunca los cierra. Creo que te irás, tienes alma de viajera. Pero también creo que volverás, como hice yo después de 15 años fuera. ¿Será porque ninguna otra ciudad del mundo tiene esta luz?... Hagas lo que hagas te deseo que seas feliz.
Hola Antoanetta.
Te he descubierto hace poco y ya he visto todos los vídeos, se nota el trabajo que hacés en ellos son de buen gusto, como el que desprendes tu y trabajo en tus joyas, aunque tratas temas a veces difíciles de los problemas de tu país, pero abres los ojos a mucha gente que aprende a ver qué lo suyo no es lo único y que hay más formas de vivir y disfrutar de la vida.
Gracias por este esfuerzo de gusto y calidad en tus vídeos.
What a great comparison! Thank you
Conozco istambul y gran parte de Europa. Me quedo con VALENCIA.
Desde luego re inteligente q eres,creo q ya eres valenciana.
Lo mejor España y de España Valencia. Calidad de vida y lugar para crear familia sin igual.
Saludos cordiales.
I love big cities, but Istanbul seems way too chaotic and the language barrier would be much more difficult to overcome. I will visit Valencia in a couple months to make an assessment, but from what I have seen here it would certainly be my choice.
I've read for years the hype that NYC is the "greatest city in the world." [guffaw] YMMV & "to each his own"
Wow I’ve never been to Istanbul but traffic looks really bad 😮 Great video I like how you compared 2 cities that are so different. 👍🏼
Busyness might be a key ingredient , so maybe Madrid might be a more comparable video, but Valencia might be considered one of highest quality of life just anywhere. I would stay.
nice briefing!
Thanks for Sharing this beautiful video
Love, love love Valencia ❤️
Been to Istanbul . It’s got a huge bizarre with stalls and mosques, lovely shops and restaurants . it’s a lovely city to visit. I could not compare it to Valencia . There are so many choices there. Parks, shopping areas , cathedrals and beaches in one place.
Definitely I will choose Valencia
I have a home in Istanbul and albeit I love many aspects of it. The mentality of people causes most expats to eventually leave. Plus the economy and government have been going downhill which makes it feel unstable to raise a family. I'm currently looking at Valencia or Barcelona (or both) as an alternative.
Another note is language. You will have to study Turkish for roughly 1-2 years to become an Intermediate or above speaker. Many would say this isn't necessary but that simply isn't true, you will greatly limit your opportunities socially and professionally without the language and some Turkish people will be very offended if you don't speak Turkish fairly well.
Dos mundos diferentes ,dos culturas diferentes. Y para vivir pues elijes más de la cultura que seas .
Both look great!
This was a really cool comparison. Which city has better weather year round, do you think?
Soy valenciano de nacimiento y he viajado mucho, pero pocas ciudades tienen la calidad de vida de mi Valencia
As soon as you cross over the bridge, you go from Europe to Asia.
Better to be unknown than dying from success like Barcelona, where tourism is becoming a problem for the neighbours in some areas. Having said that, Barcelona has a special feeling that is unique.
Istanbul is a nice city as a tourist.
As for living, l would stick to (most) Spanish cities.
Comparan Valencia y Estambul, no Barcelona.
@@towers2719 Entonces Valencia sale perdiendo. No se puede comparar la tercera ciudad más grande de España con la capital de Turquía.
@@supersusiesalmon1162 ah, es que no sabía yo que el bienestar de una ciudad era por el tamaño, perdona. Creo que la calidad de vida de una ciudad es la sanidad, educación, transporte... (desde mi humilde punto de vista). Entonces para ti mejor que Estambul serán ciudades como Yakarta, Delhi, Manila, Bombay....
@@supersusiesalmon1162 La capital de Turquía es Ankara, no Estambul.
De la misma forma que la capital de EEUU es Washington, no Nueva York.
@@caballoloco100 Cierto, entonces comparamos Barcelona con Valencia, donde siempre saldrá ganando Barcelona por importancia y tamaño.
Yeah, Valencia won!🎉
Es que a ver... compara una ciudad relativamente pequeña con la capital de Turquía, es como comparar un hombre normal contra un gigante. Dicho esto, Estambul me parece una ciudad genial para viajar, pero no para vivir. Es demasiado grande, caótico, y su país no se distingue por ser una país muy liberal, hay que recordar que es un país musulmán que está fuera de la UE.
Valencia sin embargo ofrece una excelente calidad de vida, es un país miembro de la UE, más moderno y liberal. Para mí, Turquía es como Marruecos, pero más civilizado, y todo eso se ha de tener en cuenta.
Istambul is the biggest city in Europe (or bigger than any city in Europe if you're one of those). Valencia is a small city in comparison. P.S: Life without Starbucks is life.
I live in Valencia but have spent months in Istanbul and love that city as well. I agree with all your points! Istanbul food is more interesting. Standing on the Marmara Bridge or riding the water taxis is fabulous. However, I am disgusted at the construction on the seafront at Karakoy. Entire blocks have been demolished to be replaced by another giant shopping plaza where only big-name, expensive, international merchandise will be sold. There will be nothing Turkish there.
I’d never live in Istanbul. At least not for an extended period of time. Nothing wrong with the city which I think is fantastic but I do believe the nasty sociopolitical situation in the background will eventually engulf everything, including that beautiful city. It’s a matter of time
I go back and forth about buying a condo in Valencia or Barcelona so I can spend summers in Europe. Would you ever do a comparison video between those 2 cities? I know that Valencia is less expensive etc, but Barcelona just seems more culturally interesting to me. I have been to both, and for me Valencia just seems a little too small and sleepy....... this is only MY opinion - don't get offended :)
She has already done a Barcelona vs Valencia video.
Hi Jason, I live in Spain and from my opinion, I don't recommend Barcelona, apart from the political ravings that are confronting the population, insecurity, crime and illegal population is on the rise and the city council doesn't seem to care about that problem, also the price of a flat is much higher compared to if you buy it in Valencia. But you should think and look a bit further than these videos because they don't tell you anything about the rest of the country and they are only personal opinions of the editor of these videos, do you know Malaga, Seville or Cordoba? the big cities have everything, good, bad and very bad. I recommend you to know a bit more about the country in question, before making a final decision because maybe a small city is more suitable for you than a big city. Best regards
@@antoniodejesusviveiros528 I would like to see a nice video about life in Murcia but I didn't find any.
Hey after watching 7 videos I've definitely come to the same conclusion wtf 😒 nope !
Te deseo lo mejor.
I think Valencia beats Istanbul but in my opinion they are not comparable. I would suggest to go to Antalya in Turkey. I found Antalya and Valencia have lots of common things.
Nice... you came back to Istanbul?!...
where are you originally from? i plan to move to costa blanca region when i retire,maybe valencia.i am going on discovery trips starting may 2023 to explore where id like to live
Istanbul seems too chaotic. Valencia, Spain looks much nicer, cleaner and more organized.
There's an online article with the title: "Paris sucks: The truth about being a Paris expat & living in Paris." France's largest city to me is the gold standard in how both tourists & residents (expatriates too) may rate a city. If the City of Lights can get a thumbs down, nowhere else will be any different.
Comparar València con Estambul, para un europeo, es como comparar el día con la noche.
Turkey or Spain? C’mon there’s no comparison. Two completely different places with very different people. With that said, I’d never live in Turkey
Are you leaving valencia
I've never been to Istanbul and all I hear is good things about it. No doubt it must be a great city but when you talk about moving, ¿don't you consider the language a big obstacle?. I mean, not so many people in Turkey speaks English out of the tourist areas and I bet Turkish is not an easy language to learn for somebody on his 40's
I think it's a bit strange to compare a small city like Valencia, with Istanbul, which is the 15th largest and most populous city in the world. They're very different- so I think it's not really a fair comparison.
I stayed in Istanbul for three months and have lived in Valencia for a year. If I had to compare and choose, I prefer Istanbul overall. Much cheaper, better food (for my tastes)- but it does feel pretty over populated. Very busy, and the streets are quite chaotic. As far as Valencia goes, it's a little bit too "relaxed" for me. Not much goes on here. It's also not as well connected (flight wise).
Again, it's hard to compare, but I much prefer Istanbul.
Barcelona le tuvo que poner las pilas a los turistas.
Тони предполагам , че всичко в Турция е органик.
No te vallas
I am wondering what is your Origins darling !?
Romanian i guess !?
In comparison between valencia and Istanbul, you also consider the elements of Islam.....and the hunger of turkey to become "Khalifa of Islamic world"😊
Cairo traffic: hahahahaaaa
Are you of a turkish minority?
you are not american,,,,by the accent ,you sound bulgarian
Hi Antoaneta, you should mention terrorist treats and lack of respect for women when talk about Istanbul Better food and great historical monuments aside, Istanbul is very far from Valencia as a place to live, not to mention raising children. I really enjoy your videos, nice job!
VALENCIA IS THE BEST
Sorry, but it's very hard to get along with Turk nationalist mentality. And this is not an apple to an apple comparison, Spain has 2% inflation with very affordable cost of while Turkia has ove %70 inflation it is not easy there at all.
If you come from Istanbul, 100% is an upgrade and a better place to live. I left Valencia due to low overall life quality and very low salaries. Still a good place to go in vacation. For most of valencian ppl, the only vacation they afford is the sea and hiking on dry hills. The traffic is terrible in Valencia ... one of the big minus (stretch parking, door scratched, roundabouts chaos, frequent accidents, driving in paralel on highway at low speed, police or civilian cars parking on zebra crossing, did I miss something regarding traffic?). Flats ... ppl close the doors like animals even during the night, 0 isolation, you hear everything, temperature fluctuates depending on the season, cheap electronics for rented apartments, 3 mo. deposit which you can say bye bye when you move to a different apartment, smell of marijuana everywhere. During the summer the city center smells really bad (urine+trash containers which are on the street). So yeah ... who lived there knows exactly what I am talking about. And most important, no longer a cheap city (prices exploded at least during my last trip there in October, just the salaries remained the same :)) )
Istanbul is too large.
