Who are we?
We arrived in Spain with the intention of learning the language and then finding work once the language was up to scratch. airportkiosk, cockatielfood, michellerodriguezunderground. Initially the plan was to stay for around 6 months and then head back home to England. troubledyouth. As our destination I selected Valencia as I wanted to go to a big city but wanted to avoid Barcelona and Madrid as the cost of renting is quite high in comparison (although still cheaper than most places in England!!). candlewarmer, europeantravel. Valencia turned out to be a great choice as it is fast becoming one of the most up and coming cities in Europe. avengedsevenfoldskull, astrologyhoroscopegemini, hotelbookingsoftware. There is so much to see and do here and for the moment prices on property remain fairly cheap (but expect to see prices rise as the city becomes more popular).
When I arrived here I spoke very little Spanish and knew nobody. internationalmusicfeed, edgelightsharpened, bedbreakfast. I came armed with a very heavy suitcase and the intention of finding an apartment but initially I began my adventure spending a few nights in a hostel (there are many in Valencia). canoscanscanner, sylviabrownepsychic, matureoutdoors. The hostel was great as the place was full of travelers most of whom were able to speak English so I managed to get some advice of where to begin my quest for finding an apartment. almondpaste. It seemed that the best way to find somewhere was to take a wander along the streets and take note of some of the adverts that people had stuck to trees and lampposts so this is what I did..
The best place to look was around the student area of the city, however usually you will only find notices advertising rooms in flats to share whereas I needed a flat to myself. platinumweddingbands, metalcuttingmachine, autochaseloan. The other option was to head for an estate agent but straight away you will cost yourself a months rent in estate agent fees so unless you are desperate avoid this course of action. autoshockabsorbent, topgraduateschools. In the end I did manage to find somewhere. tinseltowntheater, resizepartition. Through sheer fortune I met an English student who was leaving her flat the next day but if it wasn't for her I don't know what I would have done. doorpanelcurtains. I expect I would have had to go bite the bullet and gone through the agents but even this would have been difficult with my very limited Spanish!
So hopefully travellers to Spain will see this as a useful resource. homemachinequilting, stocktradingcourse. Check out the site here... banknorthwestsavings. www.new2spain.com
