Hi, my partner and i (early 40’s) and 1 year old are looking to move to the valencia region to be closer to family in the next couple of years.

my partner is italian and can speak spanish however i can only speak english.

what areas are recommended where there is also an english community.

i currently live in a village in england and have a good community where we can meet other mums and babies and close to cafes bars restaurants etc

happy to drive to the beach as long as the area we live is pretty.

Hey Kcairz, if you want to move to Valencia, you can choose areas like Ruzafa, El Carmen, and along the coast in Malvarrosa and Cabanyal. It has significant English-speaking communities. Another option is the coastal area of Alicante, which includes popular expat communities in towns like Benidorm and Calpe. You'll find plenty of services and amenities catering to English speakers.

@kcairnz Hi.

I can’t help you with this but thought I’d say hi because I also have an Italian wife and we’ve just decided Valencia area is where we’d like to move to (we are in our 50’s).

Mild coincidence!

I’ll keep an eye on any useful replies you get to your post.
