This is actually quite accurate.
I live in Valencia myself (originally from Holland) and write a lot about moving to and living in Valencia on SpendLifeTraveling.com but never did much about cost of living so this is a great resource, thanks.

#Irina on Jun 12, 2018 :

Can people answer me on several questions?
What professions are demanded in Valencia and in Spain? Front end developers? Or nail technicians? Or baker? Or is there a job in hotels?
Is Valencia safe city? Is there a refugees problem?

#Jaume on May 15, 2018 :

Hi Jose. Which questions do you have about Valencia?

#Jose on Mar 18, 2018 :

I am looking to get as much information about retirement in Europe, we are not set on the place yet and we are about 3 years from retirement. We currently living in Valencia, CA and living in Valencia, Spain would be cool. So far I have looked into Tuscany (Siena) and Languedoc, France but am open to other places. BTW is there a way for a person from the US to live and roam in Europe - ideally living in one country for a year or so and moving to a new country to live for another year and continue this pattern till we have seen as much of Europe as we wish, or return to a country we like best?
Thank you for any help you can give.

#smmr your comment does not make sense at all.....

#smmr on Jul 29, 2017 :

they seem to say there are no jobs interesting. in Ecuador they have a Gringo Post and gringo Tree. we are from usa and your cost of living is high then Cuenca Ecuador it is lower. we live in a beautiful condo with a view of the domes of the churches 3b 2 bathrm + large kitchen living room and dinning room.
where do we get guide book to tell us the order of getting a residence. What papers we need and do they need to be stamp in the state we were born. do you need a apostile done to paper work? or do we use Ecuador which we are a resident now and have a cedula. you do not take our american Passport from us do you? also
the paper work for bring our dog too?

Hello I want to know is there any American schools in Valencia,does the education cost less than in America?

#Gaste-Valencia on Oct 18, 2016 :

NO WAY this page shows a looooot lower wages than the reality for all Spain. This must be a joke for Valencia.

Average net wage in Valencia is close to 1.600€ , the brut is about 2.100-2.200€ but after taxes and social security is about 1.550-1.600€.

This must be a joke
