Cullera, Valencia by YvonneBil
Hello I was wondering if there is anyone here living in Cullera, or who knows it well? We are UK expats currently living in Porto, Portugal but planning to move to Valencia later in the year. We visited Cullera for the first time on a trip last ...
Ah, understood. I am an ex resident of NYC, so I have some idea where you are coming from. Weirdly, you spec of "great views, large terraces, small garden" is what we were looking for and found it 25 mins north of Valencia center, in an ... Read More

Hi Cullera is a nice place, and yes it gets really busy in the summer. What I am wondering though is what attracted you to the place over, say, the Valencian capital city? The main city will be no more expensive, maybe even cheaper, and has nice ... Read More

I hear lots of properties being sold or people looking for properties in the mucia/and north Costa Blanca areas (Javea, Calpe etc.) Can someone tell me whether Valencia is not thought of as a place to live? why don't people look for properties ...
Hi, We started south (Torrevieja) and slowly drifted north, seeing us eventually buying somewhere 25 mins north of Valencia Capital. The lure and buzz of the big city was the draw, and things got cheaper and nicer as we went. Different strokes for ... Read More

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I was wondering if anyone could help me? My partner and I are from Glasgow, Scotland and are planning on moving to Spain in the next 1-2 months, but we don’t know the best area to move to. We ...

Hi, I recognise the problem. Buying a car was one of the trickier things we did when we arrived in Valencia. The dealers didn’t appear to take our emails seriously. Maybe they think you will not have NIE. My advice would be to turn up at the ... Read More
