Torrent is nice enough. I stayed in one of its districts that was in the hills and surrounded by trees. It was lovely and about half an hour walk to the metro which was then about 45 minutes to the centre of town.

I took the metro to the port rather than the centre deliberately so I had to walk a lot to the centre. I walked about 15 miles in total that day. It gave me the opportunity to look at Valencia as a city to live in rather than a city centre with beautiful things to look at.

I think I already knew I don’t want to live in a city, regardless of how cool or beautiful it is. But I do want to be in striking distance of it, so a suburb of Valencia (a couple of which are by the sea, and some of which are in or near beautiful places) might make sense. But I didn’t really see anything that made me want to move directly to Valencia, even in a suburb.

It is beautiful though, and I think that Valencia province is where I’ll be heading if and when I move to Spain.
