We’ve been waiting for the summer all year, and now that it’s here, we want to make the most of our time. We don’t want to miss out on any of the fun events and popular activities during the summer, and we hope you join in with us!

 

Before you get lost in the fun of summer and all the events we have to tell you about today, there are some important things you need to think about. If you plan to live in Valencia, you definitely need to plan out your budget. Once you’ve defined your budget, you can begin looking into accommodations in Valencia. If you need some help deciding on a location, our blog has taken a look at many of the neighbourhoods in the city, exploring them so you can find the perfect area for you.
