    Hi, Antoaneta. Great video as usual. I met you at Colón Market the day you were filming this video. Do you remember me? I see all your videos and finally met you. I think you are doing a great job and I think you are more beautiful in person. And I agree with you. I have visited Lisbon, Málaga and Barcelona. All of them are great to visit but for living I prefer Valencia, where I live after living in Brussels for 31 years. Thanks, Antoaneta, for all your good tips and wonderful videos.

    My wife and I have a friend who moved to Valencia right around the pandemic and she fell in love with it, and she is from Brazil who originally was going to move to the states. My wife and I just came back from Valencia in September from visiting her and all I can say is this truly is a hidden gem of a city. The foods are so delicious, the pace of the city is really calming and relaxing. And yes the city is super safe. Everytime we took public transportation, there were so many women, young women, lots more women then men and that told me and my wife it's very safe. Lastly, if you are not familiar with siesta's, well Valencia take it very seriously, expect many places to be closed from about 2pm to 5pm and open up until 8pm or 9pm

    Something to consider: When researching different places to move to I noticed that the taxes in Valencia, in particular income tax and the notorious wealth tax, are ultra-high, even for European standards! (Yes, the taxes do vary among the different Spanish regions!) In fact, Valencia has some of the highest taxes you find anywhere in the world. And no, you do not really get a lot for it.

    • @maribelgarcia1115
      @maribelgarcia1115 Год назад

      Taxes in Spain depend of the regional government. Now, as you say, taxes in Valencia are very high, but that will change if there is a change of government. Those regions ruled by the right (as Madrid) have lower taxex than those ruled by the left (Valencia). If on May 28th there is a change because of the regional elections, thins will change. If you choose to live in a region because of low taxes, that can change with a new regional government, and if you decide not to live in Valencia because of high taxes now, you take the risk of seeing that those taxes decrease while they rise in other regions because of a change of regional governments. I mean don't rule out Valencia because of taxes because that will change on May 28th if there is a change of regional government

Which was an extremely stupid idea and I really don't see how anyone can think this made sense.

    Bit of background of my situation.. I have a LTD British company but I work 14days at sea in the Netherlands and live the other 14 days at home in UK, so I would not want to work in Spain/Valencia. I’d like to simply rent an apartment in Valencia and do the same exact same as I’m doing now in London work 14 days offshore in Netherlands where I live on a vessel 🚢 and then spend the other days in my rented accommodation in Valencia.
    COULD I DO THIS? What would I need? I have no ties at all , no kids,no girlfriend, no debts, is this possible as I’m not sure how having a British LTD company would effect me living in Spain .. apologies for the long message and probably confusing to some but there we go 😅 anyone living in Valencia who could help me out it would be much appreciated👌🏼🤝🏼 thanks
