Holaaaa 🇪🇸 finally I’ve got around to posting my Valencia recommendations!
It’s a brilliant choice for a city break, is very affordable and has the best of both worlds! You can can shop till you drop, spend a day sightseeing and then chill out by the beach all day!
1. Top tip number 1 is a speaking a little basic Spanish goes a long way! Valencia is a very typically Spanish city (sounds silly I know) but English isn’t widely spoken so brush up on duo lingo before you go!
2. Visit Plaza de la Virgin & Plaza de la Reina - all parts of the old city are beautiful. There are many bars, restaurants, coffee shops to sit in the square and enjoy a sangria in the sun!
3. Visit the Aquarium- must do if you have kids travelling with you. It costs 40€ per adult & 28.50€ per child (under 4’s are free). It’s a brilliant day out and offers a rest bite from the intense heat. I would describe it like an ocean zoo! It’s much much larger than any aquarium I’ve every visited before.
4. Head to the beach 🏝️ Valencia beach is STUNNING we spent the day (children are welcome but not allowed use of the pool) it was lovely, relaxed and we also went on the beach and took the kids in the sea. One of my favourite days we had away this trip!
5. Shopping 🛍️ is great in the city. Lots of Spanish brands like Zara, Bershka, Mango etc but I found the prices were cheaper than the UK. Definitely worth spending half a day exploring the shops. The main shopping street is called Colon and there is a metro station located at the top of the street so really easy to get too. All public transport in the city is reliable & cheap so a great way to get around!
If you’d like any help or more recommendations on a trip to Valencia drop a dm 🇪🇸
