Tips For Visiting Valencia, Spain

August 26, 2019 3 Comments

A few Tips For Visiting Valencia, Spain. Land of paella, Horchata, and beaches. This quick guide with tips for visiting Valencia, Spain with kids will make your Spainish vacation easier…

Tips for visiting Valencia, Spain via www.parentclub.ca

BeachesSpain

The Malva Rosa beach is the most accessible beach (you can public transit – bus – to it and there is also free public parking). This accessibility also makes it very crowded. There are reasonably priced restaurants along the boardwalk where you can sit down for lunch or take out. FYI – there are no nearby public washrooms at the Malva Rosa beach so plan your restaurant trips accordingly to use their facilities.

Picnicing at the beach is very popular. You seen most people bring coolers, chairs, umbrellas and spend the day.

Dining

Valencia, Spain is known for the Paella Valenciana. It’s a big deal. There are different variations of paella: seafood, meat only, mixed. But it always comes with the signature yellow rice.

HOW TO MAKE PAELLA VALENCIA

Paella

Horchata and Fartons are the go-to snack.Spain, FartonsHorchata is a dairy-free cold drink made from tiger nuts (which is supposed to be a super food). Fartons are something between a long donut and cake topped with sugar. You dip the Fartons in the Horchata or eat them on their own. And yes, my son laughed every time we said “fart-ons”.

Visiting Valencia, Spain

Spend at least one day downtown; visiting the old city. There are several beautiful churches you should not miss (one has the skeleton arm of a saint behind glass — something you don’t see everyday).

The Biopark is the zoo in Valencia. It does get very hot in Valencia so plan your visit AFTER 6pm when the early evening hours bring cooler weather. We were warned NOT to go during the morning or early afternoon because it’s just too hot.

However, L’Oceanogràfic – the aquarium in Valencia – has underground/covered areas so it’s a cooler experience. It’s a good destination on a cloudy day when it isn’t beach weather.

There are several neighbourhood outdoor markets which are fun to browse and can bring you good deals on dresses and fans. However, be wary of pickpockets!

Need some good news? People are still kind. Despit Need some good news? People are still kind. Despite the pandemic and lockdowns and frustrations. People are still kind.

My @littlefreelibrary is proof. People drop off their gently used books just to share something to read.

There are kids' books, magazines, non-fiction, novels and even a couple dvds!

People are free to take,  disenfect, quarantine, not-return or return-something-else at their own comfort level.

It's the kind of thing that brings us together when we are apart.

Baking hack! Use clothes pins to hold your parchme Baking hack! Use clothes pins to hold your parchment paper down.

Credit for hack: my daughter because when I asked her to come help me by holding the parchment paper she got two clothes pins...pinned the parchment...and then said "it's not that hard Mom" (paraphrasing)

🤦‍♀️

Despite the hit to my fragile ego...the hack worked.
