Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,580/month all-in living costs in Valencia (about $900/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 82/100, internet 82/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Paella is a Sunday lunch, not a tourist trap: Real Valencian paella is rabbit and chicken with garrofó beans, never seafood (that's arroz a banda). Eat at lunch, never dinner. Casa Carmela and La Pepica on the beach are the classics. Ruzafa and Cabanyal for living: Ruzafa is the trendy café-bar quarter, Brooklyn vibes with paella. Cabanyal is the old fishermen's neighbourhood near the beach, cheaper and authentic. El Carmen is the medieval centre, touristy but pretty. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Valencia city guide.

Bike everywhere: the Turia is your highway: Valenbisi is the cheap bike-share. The Turia gardens (a 9km diverted riverbed) is a continuous green park-cum-cycling motorway. Metro line 5 connects centre to beach to airport.
