Amazing food scene, cheap tapas if you stray from tourist streets, but a few places felt overpriced.
Dos días se sintieron apresurados, tres o cuatro noches dan tiempo para el casco antiguo, la playa y un almuerzo perezoso de paella.

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