What do I need to know before moving to Valencia?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Valencia, they said...
"Take some time and get to know the zones of the city in a preview trip if you can. Do what works for you... unlike the US, you are paying the rental agents at least a month's rent for their services, so call SEVERAL and see what each can find. Be very clear what you are looking to rent, and walk around in the area and call the numbers from the signs in the windows. Be wary of the "too good to be true" and "no renting agent" signs... if you don't speak the language fluently, you will be at risk if there are problems," said another expat in Valencia, Spain.
"Valencia is a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage and plenty of activities to enjoy. Expats should be aware that the climate in Valencia is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It is important to note that the official language in Valencia is Spanish, so it is beneficial to learn some basic Spanish before moving to the city. Additionally, Valencia has a public transportation system that is reliable and efficient, making it easy to get around the city. Expats should also be aware that Valencia is a relatively safe city, but it is still important to take the necessary precautions to ensure personal safety. Finally, Valencia is a great place to live, with plenty of opportunities for work, leisure, and entertainment," wrote a member who made the move to Valencia, Spain.
