"Expats and digital nomads living in Valencia often appreciate the city's vibrant culture, beautiful architecture, and Mediterranean climate. They also enjoy the city's excellent public transportation system, affordable cost of living, and abundance of outdoor activities. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and lack of job opportunities to be challenging.
