Consider very carefully your reasons for choosing Valencia. As Spain's third largest city there's no doubt that it has a lot to offer.
Its increasing popularity with British buyers has been fuelled by features on television programmes such as 'A Place in the Sun' and 'I Want that House'. Part of its attraction is undoubtedly the value for money it offers, compared to areas further South. That said, prices around Valencia are increasing all the time, and with the Americas Cup coming to town in 2007, that trend looks likely to continue.
Although budget is clearly an important factor, don't let this alone solely drive your decision!
Many people tell us that they want to escape the English bars and Ex-Pat colonies of the Costa, to live somewhere 'typically Spanish'.
In theory this is fine, but consider the reality. If you don't speak or are not prepared to learn at least some Spanish, you may well find it tough going in Valencia.
