- Until today, the most time I had spent in Spain was a weekend, and saw next to nothing. This time I was setting up base camp in Valencia and using it as a base to explore the province. It took only one day for me to fall in love with Valencia.
Filmed January 2023 | Valencia, Spain.

What a beautiful place. You can have fresh valencia oranges every day. The architecture is worth the visit. I like that Spain didn't tear it down and put something new and modern in its place. However a couple of those alleies were sketchy even during the day. Truly a place worth visiting.
Absolutely LOVE Spain,but this was the first time I'd seen much of Valencia - I clearly need to correct that!
Valencia has been high up on my bucket list for a good while
Scott .Valencia is one of Spain's greatest cities...ive had a flat there for 20 years..and the city never disappoints..+ fantastic weather all round.
Hi Scott, if you return to Valencia, and I hope you do, be assured the aquarium oceanographic is so worth its entrance fee, stunning absolutely stunning, also to the north of the city is a zoo/ ecopark beautiful, and the animals have so much room
Also a very strange little museum of toy solider , amazing, it’s in an area where the corners of the passages are decorated by black cats
I just love Valencia and wil return for a fourth visit soon
Just love your videos, keep up the great work
Drew
Superbly shot and organised video. You got a huge number of beautiful shots in and excellent all round. A real joy to watch!
Valencia looks beautiful. On my bucket list.
One of my top destinations I've yet to visit. Looks fantastic
Your Adventures make my day every time Thanks Scott 👍😁
I love Valencia, I'd go there over Barcelona anyday. I find the city easy to negociate as a pedestrian but there is a brilliant network of public transport for those that need it.
your getting Better and better all the time
You love the travel
Loved this city when I visited in December 2017! So much of Spain that you should visit and explore - Madrid, Salamanca, Segovia, Santiago de Compostela....the list is endless! Great vlog!
Valencia seems amazing.
Those silk floss trees reminds me of a boa that’s eaten a very large meal 😂
Excellent video ❤
Fantastic!
I´m from Valencia and I live in Glasgow. I recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos, including this one. But if you don't mind me saying, that paella didn´t look like a proper paella. It looked like a paella for tourists. Peas should be nowhere near a paella! We Valencianos take this stuff pretty seriously. If you want to taste proper local food, look for a place called La Utielana, right in the town centre. Amazing home made food and very affordable!
I hope you enjoy your visit!Ps: Normally it is a lot warmer, I´ve been told that this winter has been freakishly cold!
The council offices in Greenock could learn a lot by watching your vidios. It all looks so Cosmopolitan
Look's a very clean city too! Is it?
There must be a bike hire service in Valencia? That is what you need me old mate, the best way to get around any city you want to explore. Experience the fresh air and sunshine while getting around 10x faster than walking without the fatigue. Just looked it up, 10 euros a day gets you an iron horse. I know what I would be doing...Tring Tring!
Visited Valencia in May 2017. Wonderful City for a wander. Nice balance of Tourist destination and working Spanish City.
Personal tip for good reliable cheap eats in the old town is Cerverceria La Surena, which I think is a small(ish) Spanish chain but does lovely fresh eats and drinks at very reasonable prices (still based on reviews) in a great people watching spot.
Thanks for reminding me of a great time.
Was lucky enough to spend 4 months there in 2019 on an Erasmus+ exchange during my time at Strathclyde Uni.
My favourite city by far. So good to see many of the areas I spent a lot of time in; Carmen and my old neighbourhood by the beach Cabañyal.
Time to plan another visit after seeing this. Thanks for the vlog!!
Was there in the 80’s. Your video makes me want to go back. Thanks for showing us the sights. Beautiful background music and very helpful information.
What a stunning looking city and also classy
We were just thinking of booking a flight to Valencia today, what a coincidence.
Paella for lunch, the locals way!
We visited in Oct 2005 and they were rebuilding the marina for the Americas Cup. It was also the world fireworks championships! Valencia is home to Las Fallas which happens in mid March which is all about fire and fireworks and complete madness, so having the world champs there made sense.
No trams in 2005 so thats a welcome addition. IIRC there was opposition at the time as they intended to demolish most of the old houses which run behind the beach. Looking at Google maps it looks like the protestors won out as the houses are still there.
Looks like a great city to visit. Thanks for showing us around
Great video as always Scott. Thank you!
Wonderful!
It’s on my bucket list looks fabulous
Great video as per usual Scott. Many thanks.
That was great! 😛
Great video Scott.
Great stuff
One of your best videos Scott, the music that you added was the perfect ambiance. I think you captured the essence here of what Valencia has to offer. Legend🙂👍
right on!
Cracking vid. I enjoyed watching that.
Beautiful place visited back in the seventies ❤️
Wow. Stunning architecture. That was the best birthday gift, today. I had so much fun. Thank you so much Scott. Awesome.
These videos get better and better Scott. Thanks so much
I was there as a student in 1994. Beautiful city
Looks amazing thank you we going end of June for a weekend
Scott, thanks very much for showing us around Valencia - it looks absolutely brilliant! I've been to a few places in Spain but not here, so thanks to you it's another destination for my "must visit" list! Really enjoy all your excellent videos. Keep up the good work. Vivian
Great vlog Scott thanks for all your efforts giving us wonderful tours of European cities and transport systems 👍
Great vid If you watch City Nerd he is currently residing there from the US. Looks like it’s a very underrated city.
Great film Scott. Valencia looks wonderful. Definitely adding it to my list of places to visit. I thought your filming was spot on. We’ll done.
I viewed your website and loved your story about your travels and work in Tourism. I too work in Tourism and if I can see half the places you have I'd be a happy man. All the best Scott and keep on keeping on!
I agree I visited last year for the first time it is a wonderful city lots and lots to do great beach and fantastic sightseeing and I stayed in the same hotel.
Great vlog, was there for a few days back in September, equally I explored every side street. Equally as you did I got lost trying to negotiate the route back to my bus back to the campsite. The central food market is well worth a visit.
Fab👍👍
Was at a conference there 15 years ago and found it very impressive. Much preferred it to Barcelona. Always meant to go back but never worked out
Thanks scott ah back In the day b4 covid when I frequented espania no wonder you enjoyed the sun can lift anyone's mood . You say your undiscovered espania so be nice if you wish 2c more thank you scott enjoyed happy travels
Covid is over
Would u know how to get from belfast to blackpool please
Gone are the days a map of the UK sufficed...lol
Nice to see you in the Spanish sun...
What day was thiS. How is everyone just chillin instead of working?
Aviones , trenes y todo
I hardly recommend not to eat in tourist restaurants. Instead of eating a bocadillo, our breakfaast tradition is to eat a Valencian esmorzar. And that was not a ''arrós al senyoret paella'', we don't use peas. Even so, I enjoy watching your videos. Maybe If you come here again, I can cook a traditional paella. :D
Can you share any details of your hotel?
why is valencia not as popular as alicante ?
Reminds me of the city closest to me, Birmingham 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️
If you think Valencia is good - Seville will blow your mind. Take a day drip to Córdoba as well.
Way better than those Eastern european train journey's which I found to have a bit of a boredom factor.
Well some of us enjoyed them ☺️
@@lesliegprice6652 Fair enough and each to their own.
How are they boring
@@s125ish Personal preference.
Can I ask what time of year this is?
Says January 2023 at the top of the description.
@@vivianhughes9347 missed that. I only ask because I may be going out there for a couple of days so.
I've been to Spain two times in my life, to Mallorca and Barcelona. And I must say, that though I was having good feelings about Spain after holidays in Mallorca, I was pretty disappointed of this country after staying in Barcelona, almost everywhere stank and was quite dirty. Also the people (except for the restaurants) were quite unfriendly about any people coming from a different country than Catalonia. Pity that I didn't choose Valencia, next time my decision would certainly be this city.
help yourself to the oranges scot get plenty/scott your b=not far from benidorm about 50 miles south
Have you done Venice yet? £10 each way…..
Great video. Awful music and I'm Spanish.😂
Sorry but that's not a paella. That is a paella for tourist people. Nothing in between with a real paella. What a pity. Always you have to look for good information to know where you go.
