Life in Valencia
The decision to continue your education in Valencia is a great choice. It is the third largest city in Spain, located on the Mediterranean coast and equidistant from Madrid and Barcelona.
Valencia enjoys excellent weather: it is no coincidence that many Californian companies have set up campuses here in search of a climate similar to their own. The city also offers internationally-renowned gastronomy, and architecture that combines the traditional and the modern.
In addition, the cost of living is not nearly as high as in other Spanish cities, which makes Valencia a more comfortable and affordable option with a high quality of life, so much so that it is rated as the most liveable city in the world, according to a ranking by InterNations.
