Because of those hundreds of KZread vloggers talking about Valencia without any long-term thinking, sawing off the branch they are sitting on. But wait, I know what all those KZread vloggers are going to do next: they will look for another “Hidden Gem” to escape (leaving behind damage). Do you know how many young Spanish people have been forced to leave their hometown Valencia and move abroad during the last years? Because they could not afford to pay rent in Valencia with their salaries anymore. But I know, many of them! So, it seems like all these young Valencians don’t deserve to enjoy their life in their home city? Have you ever thought, why the state of our planet and nature is so horrible?

There are way too many appreciative subscribers to do that. The next thing I would ask you to consider, the algorithm of KZread… titles are very important for visibility. Every creator has to serve that algorithm if they want to continue existing. This channel might not be as financially successful as you think. Roughly, every video averages her about $20-50 lifetime.

Living in Madrid since September I’d like to see Valencia vs Malaga

I totally agree. Spanish cities are so modern, vibrant and alive that I would say they're the best in Europe. In Lisbon ppl are very polite (and shy)..the city is very unique and beautiful but I felt a bit of a small town vibe compared to Madrid or even Valencia.. Also found the city centre rundown in some areas.. again it's part of its "melancholic" charm.

As a Portuguese citizen, I'm happy that the fad of americans moving here is fading. The lots of foreigners moving here made the cost of houses to rise so high people are living in tents, so ... no, thanks, but no thanks, you can keep them.

Just to add: 1) Lisbon public transport is worse than VLC 2) There are barely any local Portuguese living in central Lisbon as they can not afford it anymore, particularly in the nice areas like Principe Real, Bairro Alto but mostly Americans now. 3) I love the Portuguese people, but I find them too depressed and gloomy compared to Spaniards. 4) The construction quality of the "newly" renovated apartments and housing is very bad. Housing has no insulation, mold problems in winter, expensive electricity, etc. But, I find Portuguese cuisine more delicious than Spanish :)

My wife & I are planning to retire to Portugal within the year (not Lisbon or Porto, but one of the smaller cities). We are both USA citizens; she is also a dual citizen of Peru. We love both Spain & Portugal and were first looking to retire in Spain since wife already speaks fluent Spanish. However, we wish to obtain EU citizens without relinquishing our USA citizenship. Portugal allows dual citizenship with USA, and Spain does not. And it takes 10 years as a resident of Spain to become eligible for citizenship versus 5 years in Portugal. And there's the NHR tax benefit in Portugal. So Portugal it is for us. Thanks for the video!

I feel like Spain is great for lower-middle class folks going for non-lucrative or digital nomad visas but not someone with more assets. I'm not ready by any stretch of imagination, and I can't be spending 10s of thousands of dollars every year just in that tax alone! And then there is a bunch of other taxes and fees, so it just adds up. I'll go for a visit whenever I feel like it and have fun without having to jump through the hoops.

Very biased of course ;). My experience with Valencia is a bit different but this maybe be cause I am European and lived in many other cities. Valencia for me was very crowded with very intense urbanization. Low quality of living in the downtown areas due to noise, bars, traffic and crowds of people. It is nice for a touristic visit but not for long term life. Access to the beach in fact is not so good as there is a big commercial harbor right in the middle of the city's shore. Prices are also quite high now comparing to what the city can offer. Most of the apartments would not have any type of terrace and with interior patios bedrooms. There is small neighborhood by the beach with quite nice area but obviously very reduced supply of housing.

@@chantik taxes are fine, but in many regions of Spain (including Valencia) you are taxed on your world-wide wealth (up to 2% annually or more!). This can make the cost of living higher in Spain, than in the USA if you have some money. This just doesn’t make sense. Fortunately, Andalusia doesn’t have the wealth tax. Giving away 2% annually throughout retirement can be the difference between leaving a legacy for your children, and leaving nothing.

And not too many Americans please; you'd lose the European vibe!

Portugal has too much hype for Lisbon area. According to SEF there are around 9,400 Americans, with 60% retired. Lisbon has the higher concentration of about 2,000 but many Americans live in the smaller towns [ cheaper cost living ] . The advantage of Portugal for retired Americans is a 10% tax [ nhr tax ] [ 20% others ] . Spain has an aggressive / complicated tax system & sales tax. There is the main govt + the different regions with their own tax system. You have to work out the numbers. Portugal language is different from Spain. In Portugal they will understand Spanish & English in the big cities. in smaller towns - Portuguese & Spanish.

Valencia is a beautiful city with rich history but it doesn't have economical capacity to accommodate all people who come here.

Valencia is amazing! But in Valencia they have Valenciano. Which is not as Spanish as the official Castellano. In addition, there are Catalan, and Basque in Barcelona and North of Spain. So if the language does matter to you better choose the center and Murcia and Andalucia. Sure Andaluz has some slight differences in pronunciation still it is much more Castellano than the ones mentioned above.

Valencia is the best city in the world, in the galaxy, or even in the universe... Things like, a garbage collector in Spain gets €1900, with everything free. Gasoline is much cheaper in Spain than in the United States. Spain is richer than America, when news came out today that Spain is the country in Europe with the highest increase in extreme poverty with 21% against 11% in the US. Health is free for everyone, but people are taxed almost to death, only free for those who don't work. Valencia is not underrated, is just not as good as she wants to make it out to be, it's completely ridiculous to compare Valencia to any major city in the US. Today it was the turn to say that it is better than Lisbon, as it was the turn of London, Barcelona and many others. And in the end, he lives in Valencia with a company that has an address at 728 S.

Quedaros en Lisboa, Si al turismo no a la residencia egocéntrica y cerrada. Lisboa, se ha encarecido la vivienda, y la forma de vida de los lugareños por los expatriados anglosajones. Aqui, apenas aportan nada a Valencia, ya que traen su teletrabajo y sus empresas no cotizan aquí y empobrecen a los residentes, consumen productos en su mayoria que se autoimportan de su propio pais, viven encerrados en su cultura, apenas, participan en la vida social con los residentes. Impregnan la cultura individualista anglosajona a la vibrante cultura social Mediterranea, una sociedad monolingüe como la anglosajona es más estrecha de miras. Todo esto empobrece con el tiempo el lugar donde se instalan estos expatriados, al no integrarse al medio, y tambien encarecen el nivel de vida y desplazan a los nativos de su lugar de origen. Está emigración a diferencia de la iberoamericana con culturas muy próximas, que su ajuste al entorno español es muchísimo mas factible, y casi total, en la primera generación de nacidos en territorio, cosa que no ocurre con otras culturas tan individualistas, como las anglosajonas, además los inmigrantes hispanoamericanos aportan más, al erario público seguridad social trabajando en empresas españolas enriqueciendo a todos y a la ciudad. El EXCESIVO INDIVIDUALISMO de la cultura Estadounidense, tan inflado, es un caramelo envenenado en un envoltorio míticamente expuesto en la sociedad occidental por la propaganda hueca y falsa cinematográfica , y que no guarda dentro nada positivo corrompe el entorno, donde se asienta, y como la langosta con el tiempo cuando ya "han arrasado" la ciudad empeorandola emigran a otra ciudad, que tenga luz y humanidad, para infectarla de nuevo con el virus individualista y sectarios que traen. Hay que proteger las ciudades de nuestro entorno manteniéndola como lo que son y han sido, progresando ¡¡Si!! pero sin destruirla, como empiezan hacerlo, al igual que se protege un medio natural, se tiene que proteger la forma de vida de un entorno social y cultural tan rico como el Español y mediterraneo Si quieres, venir a vivir aquí, intégrate totalmente en la sociedad en que vives, somos y hemos sido un pueblo abiertos a otra culturas durante milenios,mucho antes de que existiera vuestra cultura, y nos hemos fundido poco a poco socialmente y económicamente con multitud de culturas que llegaron aquí muchos siglos y milenios antes, y ahora somos lo que somos, por ello.

De visita, bienvenidos y disfrutar, de residencia, bien pero hay que abrirse a la sociedad que te acoge, a todas las formas de vida de nuestra sociedad y nosotros nos abrimos a vosotros, integrando mejorando y enriqueciéndonos TODOS, si progreso significa destrucción...
