Neighbourhoods
El Cabanyal and the two neighbouring ex-villages, El Canyamelar and Cap-Francia, run along the Valencia beach from the port. Under a previous government they were run down and were slated to be demolished. But a campaign to save the pretty tiled houses got going and now they’re being restored. They have their own distinctive charm - wild graffiti, still a few ruins amidst the chic restored houses, and lots of very cool places to eat and meet.

Russafa
Achingly hip. Elegant houses, amazing tapas, leafy avenues.
Just north of the city centre - old-fashioned winding lanes and squares, one with a huge olive tree. Beautiful.

Rent a bike! 13 euros a week from Valenbisi

Use the river bed park
Central Valencia is surrounded by a park planted in the city’s old river bed. It is beautiful - full of lush greenery and cool and inviting. Valencians are famously sporty and you’ll find people biking or working out everywhere.
