I was in Valencia for a bit more than a week, and while I stayed with friends I got to explore the city a little bit. I particularly enjoyed to walk to the beaches, and to run through the park that used to be a river. My absolutely favorite thing was to visit the fresh food markets, and in particular the smaller local ones. My picture is from a market in Russafa. Even though I don't speak much Spanish, a few words and a positive attitude got me very far while speaking to the old market ladies. Que mas? Valencia has plenty of little cute shops, cafes and bars. Be aware that most places close at 14:00 or 15:00 for a mid day pause before re-opening for dinner later, so don't wait too long to eat your mid day meal. I didn't really go to any expensive paid attractions since I was mostly there to visit friends and see the city for the first time. It was enough for me to experience daily life in the city and enjoy the new food and drinks, figuring out the metro system and wrapping my head around everything unfamiliar. I would love to go back sometime.
Posted: May 10, 2025Experienced: March, 2025It was really good it is so close to Porto so I added some photos from Porto as well. Vigo is a little city near the border between Spain and Portugal. It's mostly quiet and elderly people are living in there. That's why they are trying to keep young people's attention mostly immigrants but they behave well to them, they are really like each other and emphasizing each others cultures
Posted: May 6, 2025Experienced: May, 2024Tenerife was my first travel experience and it went amazing. I was there for one week and have met so nice lovely people. All of them had a easy going way of living. Once we were in Achaman Discopub and they had played lifemusic. The people included us so well and we learned a lot funny spanish dancesteps;)
Posted: May 2, 2025Honestly I just love Spain I spent a whole week in Madrid and it felt like it was the best time of my life even though the weather wasn't perfect. I felt safe people are nice and there are a lot of activities that you can do. Especially during night time you don't feel alone because everyone is partying so I really recommend going there.

I loved Madrid! It's got a beautiful city center and so so good food! I loved the breakfast places! Just wander around and go with the flow! There are are also great rooftop bars. :) I never felt unsafe so no worries if you wanna visit the city by yourself!
Posted: May 1, 2025Experienced: April, 2023Loved it, definitely will be coming back.. reccomend for all categories of travelers. City is beautiful, people are kind and helpfull, night life felt fun but safe.. didnt have any bad experience :)
Posted: April 29, 2025Generally, I feel safe, but sometimes it can be scary. We went on a group trip, so I didn't have any problems with safety. We couldn't buy drinks at the market, but I'm not sure why. Overall, I liked the experience and would visit again.
Posted: April 27, 2025I reall loved it. The water us cold tho and when it's windy dont get in the water haha. When I was there it was really hot and then one day it was randomly really cold so take warmer clothes with you. There were no creeps it was pretty safe. There are men on the beach who make things out of sand. Don't look at them directly or they will want you to pay to look. On the beach men also sell a lot of things and want you to pay so be safe. There ks a cute boba shop next to the beach and it's really cool cause you need to buy a few boba teas and you get one for free. They are also really good.

I felt very safe, but I was also always with my parents or my older sister. However, I never felt threatened by any man. I would definitely recommend Museo De Picasso in Malaga!! Absolutely beautiful. Regarding transportation I would say driving seemed the easiest mode.
Posted: April 24, 2025I got a very nice accommodation with an elderly woman, near the center. I enjoyed the sun, the very good food and the friendly atmosphere. Overall it was a marvelous experience, to walk through the streets, on the beach promenade, and meet new people everywhere.

I visited Madrid for two weeks as a minor and used the public transportation, including buses and the metro. I felt really safe — no one bothered me or harassed me, and everything went smoothly. It was a great experience.

In June I’ll be living in Madrid, I’ve lived in Paraguay my whole life, so this is a big change for me. I’ve been to Madrid before, but just for a two-week trip — I did the whole museum thing and even visited Valencia too. Now I’m just hoping to find some girlfriends to hang out with or show me around a bit!
