The earth is our friend and it needs our support. If you’ve been wanting to help, you might have come up with a few different ideas to live a greener lifestyle. Recycling, reducing plastic waste, and buying in bulk are some good examples. We’ve found a cute little place in Ruzafa that helps us do exactly that! Re-cicloo (previously called Sabó i Més) is a unique, local, zero-waste shop in Valencia that motivates us to recycle and clean in an eco-friendly way. Besides, they offer a variety of natural and vegan cosmetic products. Grab an empty plastic bottle and head to Re-cicloo, not only will you support the earth, you’ll support a local as well!

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!

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.

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 ;-)

Say “AlVent” and our jewelry boxes start to dance. Valencia is full of cute boutiques and this is definitely one of them. They sell unique, hand-crafted jewelry for wallet-friendly prices. You can just tell it’s made with a lot of love and passion. Want to hear how and why I fell in love with this boutique?
