Valencia, rediscovered through little eyes.
Made for families who want to know Valencia better.
I fell in love with Valencia as a city for kids before I even had one. Playgrounds around every corner, endless parks, the beach, sunshine — and a way of life where children simply belong.
When I became a mum, I started experiencing Valencia in a completely different way — through my daughter’s eyes.
Valencia With Kids grew from those experiences. It’s where I share what I discover for families visiting the city and for those making Valencia their home.

Thinking of making Valencia home?
Moving to Valencia with kids.
Valencia has that rare mix that makes everyday family life feel a little easier. Sunshine for much of the year, the beach on your doorstep, huge green spaces, neighbourhood playgrounds and a city that’s compact enough to get around by bike, foot or public transport.
Add long lunches, outdoor living and a culture where children are simply part of everyday life, and it’s easy to see why so many international families choose to call Valencia home.
