Amazing food scene, cheap tapas if you stray from tourist streets, but a few places felt overpriced.

To dage føltes fortravlede, tre til fire nætter giver tid til den gamle by, stranden og en doven paella-frokost.

Sun, paella and a relaxed vibe, Turia gardens were my favorite walk, but summer crowds are brutal.
