Valencia: The City of Extroverts!

This city is probably one of the most exciting cities in Spain. Its the third biggest city with the Biggest street party, Las Fallas (Needs its own post). It has many well know sights and activities and it is also on the coast, so the beach is always a winner. Furthermore, just some 38km away is the sight for the World’s biggest food fight, La Tomatina! (See our post La Tomatina)
It has been stated by an article I read, that the city of Valencia contains 700 000 extroverts. The article explains that the citizens are very social and there is always something on the go. It would also be fair to say this city has a whole lot of party animals who are friendly in nature. So I reckon this is where meeting and socializing with Spaniards will be ideal.The leisure supply that offers the Valencian nightlife is considered one of the most exciting and complete of Spain. The narrow streets of the "Barrio del Carmen" and around the street "Caballeros" are the places where you can find all the action.The night entertainment in Valencia starts at 23:00. The most visited Clubs are in the zone called "Viveros" but, the fun also can be found in places such as Aragón avenue, Canovas square , Blasco Ibáñez avenue, Honduras square, Xúquer square and Juan Llorens. Going out at night in Valencia also implies visiting the bars that are situated in the historical center of the city around the "Plaza de la Virgen".
If you go to Valencia in the summer, you must go to the beach and have fun, here you'll find a lot of bars and restaurants, some of them are very antique and are decorated in a very simple and luminous manner, most of them have balconies from which you can watch the sea, these restaurants offer traditional sea food.
It is common to begin the Party on Thursday/ Friday eve and only arrive home on Sunday morning.
In Summary, I would say this is the City for the energetic. So I reckon that this may be the highlight to my visit to Spain, and my Amigos may need to prepare!!
