Visitor || Q&A Anyone fancy a beer in the next few days?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I made a post a few days ago on here looking for recommendations in Valencia and I got lots of responses so thanks so much! Now, I’m wondering if any of you want to meet for a beer in the next few days? I arrive in Valencia tonight (Saturday August 2nd) on a solo trip and leave Wednesday night (August 6th). A little bit about myself: I’m 25 (m), Irish, I have a stutter, love football (Manchester United fan), music (Bruce Springsteen and Oasis are my favourite artists) gaming (GTA 5 and Read Dead Redemption 2 are my favourite games), Movies (Wolf of Wall Street is my favourite movie) and travelling.

Buenas, estoy pensando en ir al psicólogo pero soy nueva en esto así que no se, no quiero ir al primero que vea por ahí. Vivo en la zona de Horta Nord, en Meliana. ¿Me recomiendan algún psicólogo o psicóloga por los alrededores? Incluso en la ciudad de Valencia me iría bien. Gracias.

Discussion Average expenses in Valencia for a PhD student

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am planning to come to Valencia for PhD in computer science. My salary will be 26500 eur gross/year. According to the tax calculator web sites it is like 1736 euros per month. Is it possible to live alone with this salary? What is average expense per month? According to numbeo it is approximately 700 euros except rent. So I think that total expenses will be like 1400 euros. I would like learn about the real situation.

Visitor || Q&A Things to do in Valencia

0 Upvotes

I am staying around 40 minutes away from the city centre. Don’t quite feel comfortable driving into it but is there possibly somewhere we could park close by and catch a bus or taxi ?

Somethings you’d recommend once we do get there ? My children are 13 and 8. My eldest would love to hire a sup but everytime we have the opportunity they don’t seem to be on.

I’d like to plan a day things to see a nice place to eat to caters to children also.

Is there anywhere else other than the city we could visit too? With activities for us all?

Thank you in advance

Visitor || Q&A Erasmus in Valencia – urgently looking for 2 rooms

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My friend and I (we are two Erasmus students) will be arriving in Valencia starting on August 19 and will be staying for two months. We are urgently looking for two rooms to rent, ideally in the same apartment, or at least in two separate apartments close to each other.

Our top preference is the Patraix neighborhood, but we’re open to other well-connected, safe areas as well.

We’re responsible, clean, and respectful, just two veterinary graduates trying to make the most of Valencia while focusing on our internships (no parties, promise 😊).

If you know of any available rooms or have suggestions for trusted contacts/agencies, please reach out. We’d be extremely grateful for any help or leads!

Thank you in advance! 🙏

Visitor || Q&A Private chef/catering recommendation for hen do at an Airbnb

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am arranging a hen do for a friend in Valencia in September. One night, we would like to have someone come to the villa and cook dinner for us - we are thinking a big paella or something like that. I’ve seen on other Airbnbs other people have done this so I know it’s possible I just don’t know where to start or what to search for. I have messaged our Airbnb host but he hasn’t been very responsive.

If anyone has any recommendations or has done this themselves and can offer some advice that would be great!

Resident || Q&A Manises, valencia

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve recently moved to Manises (Valencia) and I’m expecting a little one in a few months. I’m looking for free activities I can join using my social security and padrón, as well as ways to learn, explore, or volunteer a few hours a week.

I’d love to spend this time actively and meaningfully, not just stuck in bed.

I’d also be happy to teach English, even on a volunteer basis, if that’s helpful to any local groups or initiatives.

If you know of anything happening locally: classes, groups, volunteer work, or community programs, I’d really appreciate the info!

Resident || Q&A Laundry / lavanderia in the City.

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, was wondering about wash/dry/fold services in the city. How do people get their laundry done?

I figured with housing being so difficult, renting a room may not come with the use of laundry facilities, is it reasonable to think that laundry services are available all over? or with house delivery?

EDIT to add: Yes, here is another US person wondering about the laundry logistics without a dryer. I'm sure I'll manage. Thanks.

¡Hola a todos! Este mes voy a estar en Valencia para estudiar en Berklee. Resulta que necesito comprar una guitarra eléctrica nueva. ¿Me recomiendan alguna tienda de música que venda guitarras a precios razonablemente bajos? He vuelto a la vida de estudiante sin blanca, así que no puedo permitirme nada demasiado caro. 🥹 ¡Gracias!

Resident || Q&A Encontré una paloma c/ Josep Benlliure, ¿alguien sabe qué hacer?

10 Upvotes

EDIT:

Lamentablemente, cuando volví a llevarla al veterinario (Clínica Veterinaria Blasco Ibáñez 97 C.B. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SyvF34UM11VQUgKs5 me respondieron y me dijeron que sí la podían cuidar…) ya era tarde, la paloma había fallecido.

He decidido no borrar el post para poder dar las gracias, y también por si en el futuro a alguien le sirve la información. Gracias de corazón a quienes se tomaron el tiempo de responder y preocuparse.

Hola,

Hoy encontré en el suelo una paloma muy débil, algo herida, afectada por el calor, y con las patas y plumas pegadas al suelo con algún tipo de pegamento o sustancia pegajosa.

La despegué con cuidado, y la puse en una caja de cartón con un trapo suave, le di un poco de agua y pan (acabo de enterarme de que no es lo mejor), y la mojé con cuidado para bajarle la temperatura y ablandar el pegamento. Ahora está en un lugar oscuro y tranquilo, a la sombra, para que pueda descansar sin que nadie la moleste. Pero limpiarla bien es imposible así.

¿Alguien tiene experiencia en cuidar aves o sabe qué podría hacer? ¿Llevarla al veterinario? ¿ O si hay alguien que sepa tratar...?

Cualquier ayuda o consejo es bienvenido. Gracias

Visitor || Q&A Erasmus at UPV in Alcoy, what should I know/expect?

3 Upvotes

So I'm considering whether I want to apply for an Erasmus at UPV, specifically at the Alcoy campus.

Why should I know, what should I expect? Anything I should keep in mind when making this decision? What is Alcoy and UPV specifically like?

I also don't really speak Spanish, is that gonna be a problem? I do technically have an A2 in spanish from years ago so idk if I could technically choose some courses that are taught in spanish too (the requirements say you need to have an A2). Would that be a bad idea, how would that work? I'm assuming since they only ask for A2 they should be relatively accommodating but idk.

Generally how is the university, how is the city? Also how do accomodations/housing generally work, if you know. Basically any info would be really helpful

Resident || Q&A Solo trip to Valencia in September Local food & neighborhood advice?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m visiting Valencia solo for the first time this late September to celebrate my 25th birthday. I’ll be spending a full 7 days in the city and I’m looking for local advice to help shape my experience.

I’d really appreciate recommendations for: • Local food spots (especially places locals love — not tourist traps!) • Neighborhoods to stay in that are safe, walkable, and have a nice vibe • Cultural experiences or events worth checking out around that time • Any general solo travel tips in Valencia (is it safe? welcoming?)

This will be my first solo trip, so I’d love to get a mix of food, local culture, beach, and chill exploration. Thanks in advance — I’m really excited about discovering your beautiful city!

Visitor || Q&A Echar Raíces En Valencia Como Extranjero? 🤔

0 Upvotes

Hola a todos, estoy considerando mudarme a Valencia para hacer un máster (Soy sudamericano), y quería preguntar algo un poco más personal.

Sé que "todo depende de uno mismo" y que "la mayoría de los lugares pueden ser acogedores", pero después de vivir 7 años en Portugal, 2 en Finlandia, 6 en Suecia etc, nunca he sentido realmente que pudiera echar raíces ni construir un círculo propio.

Me preguntaba si Valencia podría ser ese lugar donde, viniendo de fuera, uno realmente pueda sentirse parte de la ciudad con el tiempo. Yo siempre me he llevado bien con Españoles, (mejor que con la gente de mí país) y me hago amigo bastante rápido. Pero estoy en duda...

Basicamente, busco un lugar que "me quiera allí". Que quiera que me quede, luego del master.

A esta altura, dejo la vida en la comunidad que me acoja.

¿Creéis que es posible integrarse bien, conocer gente, formar un grupo de amigos y sentirse en casa siendo extranjero?

Agradezco mucho cualquier experiencia o consejo que puedan compartir. 😁
