  • Which is the most underrated city in Spain?
    Everyone associates cities in Spain with different things. Barcelona always drives so many tourists who want to see the whimsical buildings of Gaudi. Madrid brings people as it is the capital and the largest city in Spain. Sevilla and Cordoba mesmerize with their history and the beautiful islands of Ibiza and Mallorca make people dream about their perfect vacation BUT ... there is one city everyone keeps missing and in my opinion is the most underrated city in Spain, Valencia. It is the third largest city and yet it is not getting the love it deserves. Valencia has great architecture, excellent universities, it is very safe, it has an amazing beach and gorgeous weather year round. Watch my video to discover why I think this city is still so underrated!

    Antoanetta, I first heard about Valencia about 2012 when visiting Santiago De Compostela from my AirBnB host. He was tired of the cold and gray weather of the northwest and longed for places warmer. I asked this fellow, a native Galician, where was his favorite place in Spain and where he would want to live if he wasn't in this chilly corner of the country. His response surprised me- Valencia! And that put it on the map for me. He seemed well traveled and well read, and that was my first introduction to this city I had never heard of before.
    Your great videos have definitely shortlisted Valencia for me! Keep up the good work.

    I am 4 weeks into a 5-week Spain "expedition." Spent 1 week in Barcelona, 1 week in Valencia......some time in Palma Mallorca, Malaga, Marbella, Bilbao and finally San Sebastian for the last 4 days. Previous trips included Seville, Cordoba, Granada, and Madrid.
    I can understand why you like Valencia, but for me, it just did not draw me in. I spent an entire day looking at apartments with a realtor, but Valencia seemed off the mark for a few key things I ended up liking more in other Spanish cities, and some things you mentioned did not seem as appealing to me, and the way I would utilize them if I did live in Valencia.
    San Sebastian has knocked my socks off so far. However, I must admit I am looking for a secondary summertime city and one that is cooler than my primary home in Orlando, FL. San Sebastian is beautiful in the summer, and the weather is much nicer. I would not be a fan of San Sebastian if I had to live the winters in Spain, and that is for sure (a bit too cold and grey). I wish San Sebastian was not so darn expensive in the areas I would purchase because I would write a check tomorrow in this beautiful city.
    My favorite 3 cities are San Sebastian, Madrid, and Seville. Barcelona and Valencia are also very nice.

    This Steve, I want to sincerely thank for you vlogs which I’ve watched since February and I am in Valencia looking for a property to buy. Your vlogs have motivated and inspired me so much. Today I rented a bike and went via RUSSAFA, Gran Via, Turia, El Cabanyal,The Beach and back to Estacion Nord as I’m staying in Gandia. For 2 weeks I took Renfe for €12 return ticket. Not to mention the AVE high speed train 1.5 hours from Valencia to Madrid to visit my friends/manager. Again thanks for your inspiration. Unfortunately I don’t have Gran Via nor Ave Regne De Valencia budget but damn what a beautiful area.

I love and appreciate art, as well as history. Everytime you upload a video, I know I will enjoy it, because you transmit that energy, and that that delight. I don't have to be there, to enjoy the awesome things that every city has to offer through you, through your videos, through your words. Thank you, yes thank you.

    Suggestion: Go to Els Sariers for orxata (Machado metro station), and try orxata with ice cream. And you forgot a hidden characteristic of Valencia 3/4 of the population read music, and marching bands are the best of the world, having a valencian musician almost every pro orchestra in the world.

But Valencia is not so "underrated" being the 3rd city most visited in Spain ;) or as much has a head-to-head with Sevilla and perhaps Granada. And yes, it is a safe city and good place for families as well. Unfortunately the general prices have grown quite much and quickly in the latest few years even if , for lot of expats could still be economic in same ways 👋

    According to official data, Valencia is below the average of green areas per capita in Spain. Knowing the city, it is difficult to understand why Valencia is considered deficient in green areas. The city's relatively low pollution is mainly due to the wind regime. There is an almost constant breeze from the sea, which makes the city quite ventilated.
    Valencia is the second city with the most Erasmus students in the European Union, only behind Granada. It is indeed a very suitable city for students. It has a mix of moderate prices, good infrastructure and a not very big city size.

      Weather by the ocean is hot, but mild, compared to inland Spain. That's why the coast becomes so crowded during summer. It's similar to California weather. The beach is 10 to 15 degrees cooler, than in the valleys or inland cities.
