Valencia's lifestyle is one of the main reasons people move here, but "great weather and good food" only gets you so far in the first few months. Then things might get harder and that harder part is building a lasting and repetitive social life from those initial small acorns. It takes effort, a lot more effort. The following activities are all structured enough to give you a recurring reason to show up, and most of them double as a way to meet people, practise your Spanish and set up further contacts to grow into the city and into your friendship groups. Now of course everything depends on your gregariousness, your interests and your desire to get a social life and groups but if you want to here are some suggestions built around activities in order to get you going.

We often get asked by people about how you can get to know people in a new city after moving here. We get asked this by all ages and by people in different relationships and also by those coming here alone. In fact it was one of the questions asked last week in our Q+A too by quite a lot of people. So it was a nice surprise when I got a request for a guest post on the site by Tom Norman who has set up a meetup group in Valencia for introverts*. As a natural introvert myself who often feels overwhelmed in group settings it felt a natural fit for the blog. So here we are. Take it away Tom.

Near the end of 2024 in my infinite wisdom I decided I needed another project because running three businesses wasn't challenging enough of course. I saw that there was a restaurant for sale in La Pobla at a decent looking price, one that we used to love visiting actually, and I thought "Yeah, why not? I don't want to run a restaurant but to do something with this would be interesting". This is the story of the 17 month odyssey to get to the point where we are now of actually using the place on a daily basis. But how? The plans changed from start to finish and in today's post I'm going to explain what happened. Why there are 17 months in the intervening period, why you should never trust a builder to order your windows from Poland and why when the neighbours complain you shouldn't really worry too much.

We went on a listing frenzy last week as, while researching the articles about what your money buys you at various price points, I realised that we didn't have much on the shelves at various price points. A missive was sent out to the team, "we need to get more listings on the site". However, as we have mentioned many times before on this page, we don't list everything. In fact I wrote about the reasons why on our substack recently and as I am moving away from publications elsewhere and wanting to concentrate much more on our homeground, here on the blog, I thought it was time to bring over something from there to here to give the explanation of what is happening.

If you have spent any time on the property portals, and we know you have if you are reading this because you are looking for that elusive Valencia property bargain, then you’d be forgiven for thinking you can still pick up a nice flat in Valencia city for 120,000 or 150,000 euros. You can't. Scroll a bit further and there are “bargains” everywhere with not so shiny photos, certainly tempting prices, and descriptions that make it sound like you’re one click away from your new life in Ruzafa or by the beach. You aren't. They come with issues.

This is the follow up piece from our initial post on Monday about your budget for property in Valencia. In that post we talked about the lower budgets and showed the limitations that you had and how it's usually much better to go outside of the city to the surrounding towns to get more for your money. If your lifestyle focus is just city life then you have to compromise more in the property you want to get that lifestyle. Remember, the lifestyle doesn't refer to your home, it refers to the experience of living, what surrounds you, facilities, amenities, shopping, entertainments and the like.
