Do you know that TLC show: Extreme Couponing? I would definitely be one of their couponing queens, who doesn’t like a good discount? It’s probably no surprise that I love going sale shopping and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Grab your agendas and take notes, because today I'll share the best moments of the year to go sale shopping in Valencia.

On a hot Summer’s day, one of my friends wanted to cool down and catch up at Federal Café. She’d heard great stories about it and wanted to find out for herself. As it turns out: you can totally dream the day away while sipping on some Australian coffee. Is there more to it? You bet! If you’re looking for a great, trendy, brunch spot – this cafe should be on your must-visit list.

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.

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?

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?

Oh, how many memories we’ve made on this beautiful, famous plaza. From just chilling on the benches and registering at the town hall to dancing until the morning at gay pride, we’ve done it all.
