As a visitor, I found Valancia easy to navigate and find green spaces. I liked the food better in Madrid but found the traffic in some spot never ending (Nosey). I like Valencia for the small town feel you get in a big city environment. Hello From Florida.

I was in the US Air Force stationed at Torrejon AFB 16 km from Madrid from '73 - '77. Over that time we explored a lot of Madrid, finding the city full of culture, festivals, architecture and large, homogeneous population. We really liked the city, but the crowds and pace of life were not my wife and mine cups of tea. Madrid gets hot in Summer. Susie and I used to tent camp on the Mediterranean. We found Valencia to be more to our liking, so much so we sold our home in Maryland to move to Valencia permanently 4 years ago. For us Valencia is perfect. I have trouble walking - Valencia is flat. The cost-of-living is very palatable. The population is much more diverse and accepting. Because of our Mediterranean climate, outdoor life is the name of the game. There is al fresco dinning everywhere. Oh, and do I need to mention the Mediterranean Sea itself!? We have a world class zoo and aquarium, an international airport, and many festivals, especially Las Fallas. We find it hard to believe we are actually privileged to live here.

I completely agree with the comments in this video that this is a very fair and well-made video! You especially nailed the public transportation critique about Valencia; even though the metro is new, clean, and efficient, the actual metro stations are soooo incredibly spaced out from each other. For example, Alameda is the official stop for the City of Arts and Sciences, yet, its a 20+ minute walk away from the complex! I find that in general, I always do a lot of walking in Valencia, which is fine because its so gorgeous, but definitely not as metro-accessible as most other major cities. Thanks for your videos Antoanetta- they really helped me get familiar with Valencia before even moving here, and now its cool to know where each of the locations are that you're filming from :)

Thank you so much for this most informing video which I loved. My wife and I have been to most big Spanish cities but Seville, Valencia are both our faviurites with Malaga 3rd. Madrid we found a georgous city but possibly too big! Nonetheless beautiful. Oh that we in the UK had similar lovely cities but that's ok we need the weather. If we were to live anywhere on the planet it would be Spain. Their people are wonderfully friendly.

Just came back from a 4 week trip to Spain. We visited Valencia because of your videos. We loved the city, weather, culture,. It depends on what you want and like, Madrid is my favorite city just because of the energy of culture and people but Valencia also has a lot to offer for the ones that like to be near the ocean and enjoy nice weather year round. I time and money was not a problem, I would split my time between the 2 cities.

bicycle lane network in valencia is unbeatable. most of those lanes are isolated/segregated from the cars traffic so they are safe. the network is really wide and being a city with no up/downhills and with an excellent weather, getting anywhere by bike is a pleasure i enjoy everyday. in madrid, lanes are unexisting or extremely dangerous.

Que manía de comparar, yo he vivido en las dos y no he notado grandes diferencias. Se puede ser igual de feliz en ambas.

Hello. Good video. The next time you come to Madrid you have to visit the Casa de Campo lake area. The area of Puente de Segovia, Puente de Toledo and Puente de la Arganzuela (very cool) is also recommended. Then you also have the Lineal del Manzanares park, Juan Carlos I park, Campo del Moro gardens (behind the Royal Palace), El Capricho park. This is how you get to know Madrid something beyond the downtown area. I think you will be surprised .. 🙂

I love Valencia and lived there for almost two years in Russafa. No need to mention all the reasons as your videos have that covered, just a fantastic place to live or visit. I decided to move to Las Rotas in Denia for easier daily access to nature on a grander scale then Turia. I am retired, and I find the pace of daily life better for me in Denia. But Denia is 90 minutes by bus from Valencia and I go there whenever I get the urge. Madrid is also a great city, and one of the great things about Spain are the AVE trains. I can leave my house here in Las Rotas at 8am and with easy, comfortable, and affordable public transportation be in Madrid before noon.

I have been living in Madrid for the last 12 years in Barrio de Salamanca and am contemplating moving to Valencia for retirement. The main thing that I feel has changed in Madrid is the weather, winters in Madrid used to be much milder and sunnier with occasional spells of rain in Jan, but now in winter temperature drops to -5 deg C within the Almendras (Not considering Cercedilla or Navacerrada where it gets blanketed in snow) and summers are extremely hot reaching somedays highs of 45 deg C. Pollution is much higher in Madrid (Madrid Capital) whereas in Valencia the air is so much cleaner. In recent years cost and quality of services have gone up much in Madrid, just came back from Valencia where a really nice coffee in Mercat Central cost 1.8 Euros whereas in Madrid a decent coffee takes you around 2.6 Euros. The biggest factor is the sea in Valencia, which moderates the temperature. Madrid presents great work opportunities and competitive salaries if you want a career but Valencia offers a better quality of life. My favorite neighborhood is El Cabanyal, super artistic and rustic and next to the beach 😃

thanks for the comment. it's funny that I've been living in Valencia for 4 years now, and now thinking of moving to Madrid (to your Barrio) I have 3 kids 8,6,2. I love Valencia the only thing that I don't like is the short-minded locals and a pueblo mintality. I found friends that we are super happyt with but they are from Argentina. We hoped to connect with locals but they are not exactly at the same mindset as we are. We lived in London, New York, LA, Moscow and my home town Montreal. So after all the huge cities Valencianos seem a bit closed minded. Very nice and friendly people but for us we found it hard to find friends like us. And the second reason is the kids, I have this beilive that in Madrid they will have a better life. So I don't know what is best. Valencia is a perfect city in so many ways. What are your thoughts about this?

Hmmm was just checking life expectancy and people live longest in areas near Madrid. Perhaps that is changing with the air quality? Also -5 😬. On the other hand, I noticed that many ground level windows have bars in Valencia and other areas near the sea in Spain. Doesn’t seem very safe.

I just started watching your videos and love the comparison you did between Valencia and Lisbon. My husband and I are trying to decide between moving to Valencia, Malaga, or Lisbon. Malaga is listed as one of the top expat choices according to Bloomberg. Valencia isn’t on the list this year at all. I don’t know why. I have also heard from people that Lisbon people are friendlier. There are many reasons I would love to live near Lisbon - probably not in city center. But I love that the water is warmer in Valencia since I’m a big beach/ water person. I love to swim and paddle board and I prefer to be on the Mediterranean Sea. I also like the flatness and the space. Biking and walking seem so easy to do in Valencia. And it seems like there are plenty of cultural things to do. Thanks for sharing such helpful information and I can’t wait to view your other videos.

I did find Valencia a bit dirty and chaotic though, and life in the neighborhoods seemed a bit boring. Overall, Valencia was a mixed bag for me, I had big expectations and it did not quite live up to them. Just my 2 cents.

Madrid is my favorite European capital. I find that it is easier to meet people and make friends in Madrid. The Valencianos are in my opinion more reserved. I could live equally well in both cities. I wouldn't live in Barcelona as I find the smog and the humidity in summer extremely oppressive. Also one good thing about Valencia: besides having a beach of its own, it is close to other lovely places such as Alicante. And if you want to go to Madrid to spend a few days, it is 1h40 by train.

Another wonderfully inspiring video! Thank you Antoanetta :) If Madrid was closer to the coast I would consider it, but I've always lived no further thatn 30-80 km from a the ocean and feel very anxious when I'm further away. The good things is that one can always take the train for mini trips to Madrid. The rent prices you were showing between 1000-3000 EU- were those for Madrid or Valencia, because when I look on Idealista for 2 bedroom places in valencia, it seems you can get something decent in the Ruzaffa area for about 800 Eu and in less popular areas slightly further away but still with a direct metro line connection to the center, for about 600-700 Eu..? In any case everything seems extremely cheap to me as someone who's been living in and near San Francisco for over 20 years where a studio in a safe area costs at least 2000$/month. I hope I can find some supplemental work in Valencia without needing to know Valenciano(my castillan Spanish knowledge is intgermediate at this point, but I've heard and read some Valenciano and oh boy that's like a differnt language almost).

En Madrid hay muchos más parques que en Valencia.

Luego un poco más lejos del centro tienes gigantescos parques con lagos artificiales y esculturas: Juan Carlos I, etc. Madrid es la ciudad más verde de Europa.

One thing Madrid has is that is right in the middle of Spain and has the best fast train connections to all the places, so if you want to travel around in the diversity of Spain it is much easier.

Para Verano Valencia y lo demás Madrid, yo si solía pasar los veranos en Alicante, pero en Invierno aunque el Clima es suave hay mas humedad, me gusta mas Madrid que hay mas vida.

Yes please, do a video about working online and how tax works for those freelancers. Thank you.

You're lovely. I left Chicago 30 years ago for Tampa and then Ocala, Florida. I married again and moved near London. It's so expensive here with few options, and I miss the sun. Do you speak Spanish. I speak a fair amount and always have, but I am not fluent ¡Yo tratando!

This is not about which is better, but I do firmly believe that any Spanish city with its pros and cons are totally livable, no national or foreign person can choose North South East West depending on whether they get a job that allows them Live comfortably. It has the same comforts anywhere. Greetings and if there are problems with the translation. It has been google

Thanks! Yes I agree. There are a lot of livable nice cities in Spain!

And between Valencia and Bogota, what would be your choice?

Madrid is wonderful specially if you are rich. Valencia is very good if you have an average wealth.

Thank you so much for posting lots of videos about Spain, I am planning moving to Barcelona, May you please make a video about Barcelona? I am coming to do my master degree and find a job is Barcelona a great place for jobs opportunities? Thx

Thanks for watching 😊 yes, I will do a video about Barcelona. We lived there when we first arrived. I think for jobs might be better than Valencia.

No hablaste del clima,donde Valencia gana a Madrid claramente. La playa y el sol para mi es mucho más importante para decidirme. Estoy muy orgulloso de la capital de mi país, Madrid,pr como está a dos horas de Valencia,se puede visitar con lo mejor,de turista,xq vivir en Madrid para mi es un agobio,pr de visita si. En todo lo demás estoy de acuerdo,has sido bastante justa. Por último,y no es decisión mía,sino de la ONU,la mejor capital mundial por naturaleza, ecología y calidad de vida es: Valencia y tb estoy de acuerdo con esa decisión. Animo!!! Me encantan tus vídeos.

Can you tell me some good neighbourhood for food ? I will be staying in center with wife and kid . A 15-20 min walk max

Me gustaría ver un vídeo de Sevilla andaluci

Anto,a Dios lo q es de Dios y al cesar lo qces del César. Yo,elijo Valencia,por clima,por calidad de vida,más allá de las puntualizaciones q trae cada ciudad. Madrid es la capital de España,la amo por eso,pr Valencia es la capital del mundo para vivir. Saludos.

Americans are nice social and don't afraid to spend there are other nations that if they start coming too much might change the core of the city. But yes worldly open US citizens. Welcome!

Both cities are very nice but I think Valencia is more charming.
