Don't Plan to Live or Retire in Valencia, Spain, Before Watching This

Airbnbs are indeed a problem in many European cities... They are using private residences to offer hotel services.

So all the tourists will go elsewhere in Spain and Portugal. Smart.

Great video, thanks!

Why are they angry at the tourists.
Tourists don’t own Airbnbs.
It is their city council that is allowing owners to rent to tourists.
Why pick on poor tourists?

The only people attacking tourists in Spain are left-wing idiots from Antifa, who are incited by the government, which is incapable of providing enough housing. No wonder, because who wants to invest in a communist dictatorship?

Vivo en Tampa y los apartamentos más nuevos se alquilan por $2,000 por 55 m2.

AirBnB really needs to be regulated

Hi, thank you for your video. May I ask which platform you were using to find the rentals? Thank you.

Thanks too the tourism in Portugal 🇵🇹, Portugal 🇵🇹 whose able to pay the money 💴 that he owes to the European Union 🇪🇺👏👏👏👏 the problem is the politician that you voted , not the tourist

Spanish sell their houses, their future, their honour, for green dollars which do not even worth the paper they are printed on. The US an English are leaving their rotten countries with suitcases full with free money to spend it in the colonised countries such as Spain. Your pain has just begun! Prepare for massive influx of Anglo-Yankees from US, Canada, England and Germany. They will come and invade everywhere.

🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢

spanish resident should be mad on US immigrants..Europe doesnt need so much of them

Excellent video. Do you have any similar suggestions for lower costs parts of Malaga or Andalusia (as these don’t have wealth tax)?

HOW MUCH IS THE RENT OF A ONE STUDIO APARTMENT IN VALENCIA?

MY SOCIAL SECURITY PENSION IS ONLY US$1,200 A MONTH BUT I WANT TO RETIRED IN SPAIN. CAN YOU NAME SOME CITIES IN SPAIN WERE MY PENSION OF $1,200 A MONTH WILL SUFFICE.

You should have made your study about Valencia better. In Valencia airbnb renting is regulated and not all areas in the center are aloud to rent in airbnb and only first floor apartments can be made to airbnb. Stupid to compare apartment in historic center in Valencia and recidencial area in Tampa, and say the apartment hasnt got pool, they didnt made pools 100 years ago and in the old center doesnt have even space for that. For around 1000e you can find 2 bedroom never apartments outside the center that has pools.

Great video.. on the comparison of Florida vs Spain cost of living, we should take into consideration Income tax, to be fair.. Income taxes in Spain are from another planet (from an American's perspective), including wealth taxes. Florida offers no state income tax, no wealth tax but high housing insurance costs.

What is the need to retire to live in another country? Another country that you don't know, that you don't speak its language, with another culture, another lifestyle. Why not stay in your home country? Why ?

Another "great" video for old farts expats on the cheap to come and create english speaking ghettos like in Javea or Denia. And I could go on with so many things you got wrong about some of these places

Better choose Cartagena, in case you want to safe money

I live in Florida, but I will retire in Spain in early 2026. Estoy enamorado de España y no puedo esperar a pasar el resto de mi vida en ese pais tan bello.

People from Barcelona want to separate from Spain and also foreigners.

Valencian (aka Catalan) is not a dialect, it's a separate language just as much as French or Portuguese

👍👍👍👍

Sounds unreasonable tbh, Its companies and landlords buying up all the homes. Tourists create alot of jobs in Spain. Would they have a problem with tourists if there wasn't as many Airbnb's and the tourists stayed in hotels instead?

Went to my sources’ = I’m talking through a hole in my ass.

I’m a Tampa native, and moved away along time ago, there is crime and so expensive.

Visited both Valencia and Barcelona recently. Barcelona is an amazing city but everyone there is constantly worried about crime. It´s not a good feeling at all. Valencia is pretty and safe, clean (mostly), but really dull. Mallorca´s protests are ridiculous. They have nothing other than tourism and should be focusing their efforts on pressuring the government directly to regulate the number of flights and cruiseships bringing tourists to the island per day. Greed is the reason behind all of the problems and has nothing to do with tourists or foreigners.
