City Hall – Free visit to history and beauty

Best of all, visitors can explore the City Hall, including the balcony, during working hours—and it’s completely free.

Port Saplaya – My Essence of Mediterranean

I enjoy going there in the summer for the beach as well as just for a walk in the winter. Plenty of cafes around always take care of your mood and budget.

About me

¡Hola! My name is Olga, I am in my 40s, was born and bred in St.Petersburg, Russia and have been a spotter there for 8 years. I moved to Spain with my family due to work reasons and have a pleasure to live in Valencia from August 2023. The city selection was a kind of a blind date but I have never regret our choice. Valencia for me is like a patchwork - a city with completely different districts and vibes where everybody can find its favourite one. It is very friendly, there is always some fun going on, there are a lot of hidden gems to discover. I am proud to be a spotter here and share my findings with you. "Life is a journey - enjoy the ride!"
