Stores do not close at 12 lol, and restaurants start serving food at around 14: 00 h. Because that's the lunch time for us. If you go at noon bars are actually open, you will have the equivalent of a brunch, consisting of a sandwich and a beer to drink, and a coffee for last ( we call it cremaet. It is not about siesta, people take from 14: 00 to 17: 00 to eat because in some cases you need to go back home, specially if you have kids, not all people have siesta it is simply a break, from 17: 00 until around 20: 00 or 21: 00 shops are still open and restaurants stay until midnight. I never smelled that nasty perfume around the neach he talks about, I live in the province of valencia though but still 5 minutes walking, from the beach. Sunbutn protection is not overpriced either, you can get good ones at the supermarket at a good price, noe if you have a special skin condition pharmacies also have some although that can actually be expensive and pharmacies would only give them to you under prescription.

I always wondered, after listening to your absolutely BS video on how GREAT the food in Ireland is, if you and I would agree on anything travelwise and, we won't. All I smelled in Ireland was cow and sheep shit, everywhere, and you never mentioned it. The weather in all of Ireland is the worst on earth. The food is inedible and you really seemed to love it. Maybe its your weight and you get vey hot easily. And, maybe you have a virus which has killed your taste buds. That would explain that. However, to TRY to find something bad about Valencia and then LIE about how great Irish food is. yeah, well, that's why they make different places to go for different people. For me, I listen to your video and take the OPPOSITE view and advice and, that's how your videos help me.

There is no siesta in Valencia. I do not know anybody that takes siesta in Valencia. Everybody has lunch from 2. a. m. to 4p. m. and has to go home, park theirs car and return to work, people do not eat sandwiches for lunch but cook their meals everyday. Usually are shops that do not have workers. Every supermarket is open from 9 a. m. to 9p. m. or 10 p. m.. Yo can find supercor from 7 a. m. 1 a. m. ( 18 hours open )
It is rare temperatures from 35 to 40 degrees. ( with the climate change sometimes you can have days with that temperature) In summer usually in july and August to have 32 or 33 degrees as usual.
Thank you for your video. I hope you return to Valencia

I like your video, living in Vlc for over 4 years and I totally recommend this city, for vacations or as a place where to live, it has a lot to offer and as you said, is not as chaotic as Madrid or Barcelona. One thing I noticed is that although we're in January, the video looks like it's not from this year, just because the square you were recording in front of the cathedral is now being reconstructed because it's gonna be a pedestrian zone as the one they made in the city hall square. Though is a small detail, it doesn't change the fact that your video besides being very informative, is quite accurate and I liked that. Hope you visit this beautiful city again!

I loved Valencia, I went there in September, absolutely the best time! One correction, the architecture in Old Town is more Art Nouveau (late 1800s) than Art Deco (early 1900s. Additionally, Valencia has awesome street art, some of the best I've ever seen, visit the northern half of the Old Town to see that. Be sure to climb up the cathedral bell tower, incredible views! Yes, drink Agua de Valencia. it's like the mimosa of your dreams. Oh and that park you're standing in was under renovation in September, I'm jealous you saw it

We purchased a flat in Valencia 3 years ago! The city has so much to offer and you hit it all. climate, affordability, beach, fantastic cuisine/restaurant scene, authenticitystill feels like authentic old Spain, not as touristic as Barcelona or Madrid. Regarding the homeless in the Turia parkit seems as though there was a high increase right after Covid started. Maybe more people struggling with surviving financially during this crisis. Planning to return for Fallas!

Man, I have been following you all over the world watching your videos but never thought youd turn up here!
You so rightly describe this city so well. It is all about a love hate relationship as you quite rightly say.
But then again, no city is perfect.
Like the Romans say, if you take the Romans out of Rome it will be a much better place. Id say the politicians would do well to take a hike before destroying this city.
An enormous thumbs up to you!

That is my city and I'm so proud of it. Now I'm living in Madrid for work and I miss it very much.
PD. 'siesta' is a break we take AFTER lunch and only if you are not working so mostly on weekends. We eat later than the rest of the world (around 13. 3-15 h and 21-22h) and that has nothing to do to the siesta, it is our way of living. If at 12h there is nothing open is simply because no one in Spain will eat at that time; )

Valencia is such an amazing place. I loved the food, the people and eating oranges that just kept randomly dropping from street trees.
I was there in January and people were using coats at 22C. Coming from a -40C Canadian winter it was summer for me. I got intrigued Valencians pointing out my T-shirt and shorts, like I was crazy or something

I guess you were talking about 'Los Jardines del Turia, ' where it is probably uncomfortable to walk after dark. That city was the 'it' place to be on weekends during 'La Ruta del Bacalao. ' Apparently, a lot of northern Europeans use to go to Valencia just for that.
