A unique play cafe where you can unwind, sip on some coffee, eat delicious cake, make new friends, and have some quality time with your kids while doing fun activities. Sounds like a great treasure for young families, right? That’s because it is, there aren’t many places like this in Valencia. Whatever it is you need, Smileland Family Club has more than enough to offer.

We totally dig botanical gardens (not in the literal sense of the word) and oh, lucky us… Valencia has a gorgeous one. When you visit Jardí Botànic, you might see two girls hugging a tree, I wonder why ...

Being a pet owner is great fun, but sometimes our little friends need help. Can you and your pet use some comforting words? I feel you, even though I’m just a dog step(h) mom, I know how important it is to communicate clearly with your veterinarian. Now, if your Spanish isn’t that great, it’s best to look for an English-speaking vet. And have I got some good news for you: the people from Upendi Clínica Veterinaria speak English and offer wonderful service. Keep reading if you need to leave your little friends in good hands…

If you say Fábrica de Hielo, I say one of the most unique and artistic chill-out spots next to the beach of Valencia’s El Cabanyal. Friends, this old ice factory is a must-visit. Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call… and I’ll be there ;-)

As much as we love strolling around the city looking for hidden gems, we love the convenience of shopping in a mall as well. Especially if that means we can grab a bite and enjoy a beautiful view at the same time. What are you waiting for? Let’s go to Aqua Multiespacio!

The human body is made up of over 70 % water, I’m pretty sure mine is made up of over 70 % pizza. Okay, I’m being dramatic over here, but I really do love pizza. Guess what? I’ve found 1-meter long, mouthwatering, Neapolitan pizzas. Yes, heaven on earth exists.

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.
