Studying Abroad in Valencia
Hey Everyone,
I will be studying abroad for 6 months in Valencia at Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and leaving in a couple of weeks. Though I have been assigned a mentor, it's not really working out and someone recommended that I try asking my questions here.
I will be arriving with 2 large suitcases and a carry-on. For the first couple of nights while I look for an apartment, I will be staying at the Purple Nest Hostel on La Plaza Tetuan. Does anyone know the best and somewhat most convenient mode of transportation to get there from the airport? I was considering the metro, but with so much luggage it may be a bit of a pain. Then again, maybe I'm wrong.
Also, if anyone is familiar with the university campus/area, let me know because I would have a lot of questions for you. I would have some good questions like what kinds of banks are in the area. Their website does not provide too much practical information.
So if anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.
Vanessa

""Does anyone know the best and somewhat most convenient mode of transportation to get there from the airport? ""
As the airport is so close to the centre, maybe about 8 kms, the taxi will not be very expensive and according to the Spanish airports website www.aena.es it is around Euros 14 to 16. Not sure if they charge for luggage extra. But it may be a lot easier to get a taxi ?
Re: Studying Abroad in Valencia
If cash is a problem the bus stops right outside the airport and then a taxi from the bus station to a central hotel is about 5 or 6 euros.
The bus was very cheap when I was there - 1 euro I think.
Travel Tips for Valencia
LAS FALLAS - A sort of carneval
Las Fallas are a Valencian tradition which celebrates Saint Joseph's Day (19 March) , the term Fallas refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, called the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a "falla" which is eventually burnt.
The big party is on 19th of March, when all the fallas are judged and only the the winner falla won't be burned, but the celebrations last two weeks during which there are fireworks every night at midnight and the fallas parade in the streets and in Plaza de Ayuntamiento.
Fallers and Falleres
The Falles are a kind of social clubs where people meet all throughout the year, have fun and collect money to erect the falla. Their social seats are called casals fallers, but during the Falles week, they will take over the streets of the whole city and party out there night and day.
Fallers and Falleres are the real soul of the Falles. They work hard all year round for collecting funds and building the falla, they dress in the elaborate traditional costumes and they are devoted to the fiesta. All members of the family participate in the fiesta, so that the continuity of the Falles is ensured.
They parade continuously the streets of the city to the famous Valencia tune, so they will provide you with innumerable photo opportunities and never-ending street entertainment.
From the 1st of March to the...
From the 1st of March to the 19th you should go to Plaza del Ayuntamiento at 14.00 for the 'mascleta'.
The whole city stops. 'Mascleta' is like fireworks but only with sounds, so firecraker. It seems like war. It last for around 15 minutes.
This is very typical. People which are not from Valencia usually do not like 'mascleta' but Valencian people love it. So you should try and then decide!
The best time to visit...
The best time to visit Valencia is during one of the many fiestas. No one nightlife spot can beat the roar and hub-bub of the fallas burning, or the festival of noise.
The atmosphere is electric, with people sharing food and wine, as well as singing and dancing. The city becomes one big night club.
