- Moving to Valencia, Spain?
Experienced relocation expert Laurence Lemoine has a lot to say.
The founder of Valencia Expat Services told us why Spain's third-largest city is becoming so popular with expats from around the world.
She said in particular people are moving to Valencia for the same reasons that makes Spain the tourist capital of the world - good food, good weather and great beaches.
But Valencia is the home of paella, with winter temperatures sometimes hitting 20 C, and long, wide sand beaches you don't get in all parts of the Spanish coast.
Laurence Lemoine says Valencia also has much lower crime rates than other major cities, and her she feels safe for her daughter to be out unlike in Paris of her native France.

what a lovely French woman - and i subscribe to your channel
Laurence is an amazing, smart and lovely women, she was so professional and did a great work with our installation. It was so important for our family to have her as a first contact in Valencia. Thank you Laurence
Thanks for your testimonial!
I confirm. Laurence has been great to me too when I settled in Valencia a year ago. She helped me with my NIE, registering me as an Autonomo, organising events to meet new people. She's super nice and competent.
We (me and my wife) watched this video about a year ago and we decided to use Laurence services to move from France to Spain/Valencia. Within 2 weeks we got all the necessary papers and signed the flat contract thanks to her and Catherine's help. I can only imagine how many bureaucracy horrors we avoided. Nothing better than starting a new journey by fighting bureaucracy, right? ;) We are really grateful to Laurence and Catherine, and we recommend VES wholeheartedly :) Thank you for making this interview because otherwise, we could miss VES.
Thank you for your comment and welcome to Valencia ! Happy to help you and to see you enjoying your new life here ! We keep in touch !
Smart questions! Thank you so much
Great information!

Great Job Inspiring Travel
Thank you
"Mum" Abroad ? Not sure if that is appropriate !! Very worthwhile & much needed service though!!
Valencia has become very run down over the past 12 years or so we lived there in the Comunidad for many years prior and noticed a major difference, athough would love to visit again soon..
I moved to Madrid from California 2 years ago. Lately, I have been considering a move to Valencia because my family is considering moving there. However, I chose Madrid over Barcelona originally because Barcelona is too humid for me and I can't breathe there with my asthma. I keep hearing Valencia has good weather, but then I hear it's very humid. Which is it? Is the humidity really that much less than Barcelona? Barcelona is unbearable with it's humidity.
I have asthma, and though I do not know Barcelona, I did not have any issues with beathing in Valencia at all when I was there in springtime. But I would recommend some weekend trips to be sure.
Update: just checked the data for you on weather-and-climate.com. Humidity in % is below Barcelona and pretty constant. Not much up-and-down over the year. Madrid has more humidity in the winter.
I also have asthma and really can't tolerate humidity (which makes the fact that I live in Florida now pretty insane). Like you I've been looking for drier places. From my research, Almeria seems like a promising spot. It's relatively close to Valencia also. Might want to check it out.
Hi Katherine! I think when people say 'good weather in Valencia' it's because the winter can be super mild, like up to 20 C on a January day. To be honest, locals do complain of the humidity in summer - they call it 'bochorno'. There's quite a lot of water around Valencia. I guess at least there's a beach! Madrid will likely be more bearable in summer for you, how is it for your asthma there?
@@MumAbroadLife - Madrid can be pretty humid too so some days are difficult, but it's mostly fine here. I'm armed with three inhalers to get through the humid days here. I'm moving to Valencia next week, so hopefully I'll be able to leave the apartment sometimes!
Does she help Americans or just Europeans relocate to Spain? My husband is more partial to Portugal but I have studied Spanish and also Flamenco dancing for 10 years! What is the name of her company?
You need to pass a flamenco test before moving to Valencia ...
@@GiuseppediSaronno I believe I would pass this test!!!!

Young students when finish their classes have the same level of spanish than other regions without valenciano or catalán, catalan /valenciano is very easy to learn because is similar to spanish and then is good to learn other romanic languages like portugues italian or french however the spanish governments don't like other language in Spain, only spanish and they would like to ban, because the language is the root of our identity, AND CATALAN,VALENCIANO,BALEAR IS THE LANGUAGE OF THIS TERRITORY,NOT SPANISH.
Show me the tongue of this territory, please.

@@MumAbroadLife link is no good.
Many parties with too strong focus on nationalism, see the opportunity of the failures of politici to tackle the middle class problem, and jump on it with nationalism focus, like VOX.
Que pena que personas cultas y de buena posición tengan que irse a colegios internacionales porque la educación concertada de hace en las lenguas regionales de España.
Los que las estudian son los inmigrantes pobres.
No se hasta que punto eso es cierto porque yo compruebo a diario como médicos, enfermeras, arquitectos españoles y otros profesionales son solicitados por todas las naciones, incluso desde USA son muy admirados y cualquier profesional que vaya allí se lo rifan, yo creo que no es cierto todo esto que se dice.
@@lalalalelele5320 La enseñanza de las carreras técnicas y científicas son muy prestigiosas en el extranjero pero eso no tiene nada que ver con la lengua oficial de España , el español, que es ninguneada en algunas regiones de España.
No es normal que jóvenes extranjeros vengan a España a realizar estudios superiores y den las asignaturas en lenguas regionales.
Esto es impensable en Francia Rusia Alemania Italia Usa, México etc, etc.
La seguridad de recibir las clases en español, se da en todas las regiones excepto, Galicia, Euskadi ,Cataluña, Baleares y Valencia.
Si, lo mismo que si vas a Polonia te hacen las clases en polaco, o en Dinamarca te las hacen en danés, estais realmente enfermos.
You mean as Spanairds ? ( Nationality from people from Spain , EUROPE ) Spanish by itself IS a lenguaje NOT A NATIONALITY .
Valenciano (Catalán) es la lengua propia de Valencia ,la única lengua que se ha impuesto es el castellano, no el valenciano!!!la lengua de los ocupantes, es lo que siempre hacen, los franceses también han hecho lo mismo en Francia, o los turcos en Kurdistán, prohíben o ridiculizan la lengua del territorio que han ocupado (patois) dividen el territorio, lo saquean usan la violencia contra sus habitantes y si estos se defienden les llaman terroristas.
Els francesos, en general, són aixina d'ignorants, racistes i supremacistes, forma part de la seua cultura.
Me parece qué vosotros los habéis dejao a la altura del betún , más racistas y tontos es imposible , a tí te obligan con una pistola para que hables castellano ? No! .
Anda que devuelvan a tus padres el dinero de la escuela porque las clases de sentido común te las pelastes todas .
@@peperubiorubio Ya veo que muy inteligente precisamente no lo eres mucho,racistas? Donde hay mas extranjeros de España?no me obligan a hablar en castellano? Si hasta vuestra constitucion lo pone!! Tu si que necesitas ir a la escuela.
@@mickybcn7453 venga sigue en tú realidad paralela .
@@peperubiorubio Sii la tuya es la real,hehe
Omg! They made you learn Valencian in Valencia? How is it possible?? If you don't want to learn or listen our language, it's easy for you, just leave. You have a lot of castilian-speaking areas in Spain.
