Valencia
Spain
Mediterranean beaches, paella, and futuristic architecture.
Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city, offering a perfect blend of beach life, cultural attractions, and affordable living. The City of Arts and Sciences is a stunning example of futuristic architecture set against the historic old town.
Getting Around
The metro and bike-sharing system make getting around easy. The city is also very walkable, and the former riverbed has been transformed into a beautiful park that stretches through the city.
Work Environment
Plenty of cafes and coworking spaces with good wifi. The digital nomad community is growing here. Siesta time means some places close in the afternoon, but there are always options available.
Food Scene
Home of authentic paella, which is taken very seriously here. The Central Market is one of Europe’s best, offering fresh produce and local specialties. Tapas culture is alive and well.
Final Thoughts
Starting in late May means you catch the beginning of beach season without the peak summer crowds. Perfect weather, great food, and a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle make this an excellent choice.
