Disclaimer: this is not some juicy blog post about the Tiger King. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I’ll tell you about one of my favorite Tigers in Valencia: Flying Tiger Copenhagen. A Danish, world-famous, budget-friendly variety store. If you like Scandinavian designs, then stick with me.
I remember my first time in Valencia really well, it was in the Summer of 2016 when the city wasn’t that popular amongst tourists yet. As we were walking through the quiet streets of Ruzafa (I know, can you imagine?!), my friend took me to this bakery-cafe: Dulce de Leche. An absolute pastry paradise for hipsters. I realized: I didn’t just fall in love with the city, I fell in love with an Oreo Cheesecake too.
The name of this organization would make you think that it has something to do with an underground party scene, but this is definitely not the case. Over the years, TheBasement parties have become very popular - just like Harry Potter when he came out of the cupboard under the stairs. TheBasement is the dealer every house music lover needs. Yes, you read that right. So, what’s the deal then? Well, if you wanna know more about the best house music parties and events in Valencia, stick around …
There’s no doubt I’m a skincare junkie. Yes, I totally have a thing for skincare products – if I could, I would lather everybody in sunscreen. I love watching videos from dermatologists for hours on end, writing down what I’ve learned, and giving my friends advice. Weird hobby? Maybe, but thanks to my obsession, you don’t have to worry about where to buy your products anymore. Today I’m sharing a list of our favorite cosmetics stores in Valencia. Your skin can thank us later ;-)
Do you know those kinds of stores that seem to sell almost anything you can think of for very low prices? Whether you need a teddy bear, tool, or wine glasses. Valencia is full of those stores: the Chinese variety stores aka bazaars. I named them bazaar heroes, because yeah, they are my heroes anytime I’m in desperate need of a random item. If you haven't discovered the land of variety stores yet, read on ;-)
Lots of people struggle with hair removal even though there are so many different methods, like waxing, shaving, and epilation. You’ve probably heard of laser hair removal before, and maybe you’re thinking: “that’s expensive!” So, what if I told you I found super affordable, high-quality treatments? If you’re the kind of person who’s been looking for a permanent option, then Elha Laser & Beauty is the place to be. Adiós, struggles, and stubbles! ;-)
If there would be a Napolitana Appreciation Society, I’d join immediately. Wait a minute, I think I just created a new concept… Okay, let’s get to the point. Bakery-cafe Fornelino has some of the best pastries in town. And there’s even better news: they offer typical, cheap Valencian breakfast menus and coffee. What’s not to love?
We all know that Valencia is a colorful city, right? But have you also noticed the rainbow flags hanging all around the city? Yeah, in Valencia being part of the LGBTQ+ community is definitely celebrated. This city has a very vibrant gay scene too. There are lots of gay bars, clubs, and saunas. As you can probably imagine, Valencia Gay Pride is one of the biggest events of the year. But there’s more to it… ready for an amazing celebration?
