Valencia is a place you could easily live. It has 100,000 non-Spanish foreign nationals living here, fourteen percent of the local population. It has been ranked the best place for expats in the world in the past.
The rents are relatively cheap. It is about $800 a month for a one bedroom in the city center. That's a lot cheaper than Minneapolis. You might need another 1,000 a month for other expenses.
One of the reasons I wanted to come to Valencia was because I knew it was popular with expats. I wanted to see what it it is like if I decided to live in Europe for a while.
Valencia is a remarkable city. It sits on the beautiful Mediterranean and has a nice clean beach that is miles long. A nice harbor and marina. It has the old town with architecturally gorgeous beautiful and interesting history. There are lots of restaurants, museums. In the middle of the city is a 6 mile long park that used to be a river. There is the city of arts and sciences. It's really got everything you would want.
The weather is mild in winter, pleasant in summer. The sun shines all the time. I should like a sales rep for Valencia.
You would have to get used to the culture. Everything here is done at a leisurely pace. People sit at dinner here for hours. It feels very different from American culture which is frantic and frazzled. We don't have much tolerance for waiting or bad customer service.
You would have to accept that things are different here. Nothing is changing if for you. You will be the one to change. You will have to calm down.
Would I live in Valencia? Probably not. I wouldn't want to live in Europe. I'd rather just visit.
BTW, the best thing about Valencia is the beach.
