El Carmen
El Carmen
Un barrio famous for its nightlife and Arab influences which you can see in the labyrinth of narrow streets that almost seemed designed to confuse the unknowing tourist
El Cafetín
El Cafetín
Go here for:
- Coffee
- People watching
- A gay-friendly environment
El Cafetín is located in La plaça Sant Jaume in El Carmen, . Stop by for a bon bon, a typical coffee of Valencia made with sweet, condensed milk. Get here early enough so that you can get a seat outside to watch as La placa del Tossal quickly becomes a busy sea of people. Friendly staff and excellent drinks are something you can expect from El Cafetín, who's owner I happened to make friends with. As an advocate for LGBT rights, find maps of other gay friendly spaces here.

La Finestra
Go here for:
- The pizza
- Inexpensive food
- Dive bar
- Great vibes
This was my go-to dinner restaurant, and I never spent more than 5€ at a time when I was there
You go in and order your drinks (a glass of beer for just 1.20€) and you say how many pizzas (mini pizzas) you want for your group. Each mini pizza costs 1.60€ and usually you can split 4-5 pizzas between two people, depending on how hungry you are
You don’t get to pick the kind of pizza you want, the chef makes whatever he/she wants to, but if you know you don’t want something on the pizzas (i.e. tuna) you can tell them “no tuna” and they will make a note for the chef

Paniacos
Go here for:
- Language practice
- Yummy pastries
- A great place to study
There are two locations and they serve Nespresso. The staff is extremely welcoming, patient to non-native speakers, and will even occasionally give you free pastries. It's a beautiful and calm place to study, with free wifi. This was a hidden treasure as it wasn't a "UVA-hangout", and is a great place to immerse yourself in the culture.
