Is El Cabanyal the COOLEST Neighborhood in Valencia?
This is one of the most controversial neighborhoods in Valencia, Spain. It is an old fishermen's village but it transformed a lot in the past years. A lot of expats started living here. It has a very bohemian feel, small houses with authentic Valenican tiles and very colorful facades.
This neighborhood has a lot of good restaurants but also some places you would need to avoid as they can be sketchy.

Ese barrio no es pobre es tradicional de pescadores y no quieren cambiarlo los habitantes.
El ayuntamiento quiso tirarlo y hacer otro nuevo y los vecinos lo impidieron.
Es de gente sencilla pero no pobre , es su barrio desde hace cientos de años y lo quieren.
Tengo entendido que hay calles con los edificios remodelados y otras calles abandonadas.
Ah she lived too long in the USaa and an ugly place like LA. Dont get offended she is a tourist
y estos mismos vecinos se quejan de la violencia ahora...
I live in the area, walked around late nights, all good so far! let's get coffee next time :)
I am sure it’s safe ☺️ especially by American standards. AND there is so much light everywhere I love it!!!
The more I watch the more intrigued I become visiting Spain. Thank you
Thank you!!! You should come visit it’s wonderful!! So much to see and experience
Thrilled that you mentioned Venice Beach as I grew up in the area, late 50's and 60's. Love all your Valencia videos and now I must visit again.
El Cabanyal looks awesome. Great video, thanks for sharing this area of Valencia, Spain
Thank you for watching 😊 yes many parts really cool!
We stayed at an airbnb in that neighborhood. When we first drove in I was taken aback by what the area looked like. I didn't want to spend the few days I stayed in Valencia in such a bad spot. It was still light out, but it was late in the evening. The next morning I took my dog for a walk and was surprised by the marvelous architecture. If I ever get to live in Valencia, it's highly likely that we'll move to El Cabanyal.
The neighbourhood reminds me the old part of Istanbul. I've been in El Cabanyal twice and the gentrification still goes on. Prices are not cheap anymore and it is much more safer now.
Love this tour, but hanging your laundry out to dry is not a sign of poverty in Spain like it would be in LA. I do it every day and I live in a solidly middle class building. It’s just the way of life here. (Why waste electricity on drying clothes?) Anyway I’m sure you know this, since you’ve lived in Spain for a while now. Just thought that was funny. Great tour. I really want to visit that neighborhood now! Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for your videos and information. I learn every time I watch
Thank you SO much!
Thank you for a video - very well done!
Oh looks colorful as you said. Very nice!
Thank you
Thank you so much! I plan to go to Gran Via. I think that's best. Many thanks for your intel!
¡Hola Antoanetta! Este barrio ha sido una zona que ha ido evolucionando, como bien dices era un poblado de pescadores, en primera linea de playa estaban los pequeños astilleros, como astilleros Neptuno, yo mismo he visto pescados y pulpos secandose al sol, pero hubo una franja la cual era la continuacion de la Avda. Blasco Ibañez que llegaba hasta el mar, de echo a dicha avenida se le llamaba coloquialmente avda Valencia al mar, dicho proyecto empezó a plantearse al final de 1800, pero al pasar el trazado del tren y no querian que nada la cortase, se dejó el proyecto para mas adelante, se puede acudir a las informaciones sobre la avenida para ver que ocurrio en las años siguientes, el hecho es que se indemnizo a los habitantes de la continuacion de Blasco Ibañez para que abandonasen dicha franja (aprox 100metros de ancho) pero la oposicion y movimientos vecinales (y alguno interesado) fue encadenando denuncia tras denuncia hasta nuestros dias, por lo que no se daban permiso para rehabilitaciones dado que se iban a demoler, de echo muchas de esas casas se revendieron de forma ilegal, ya que estaban pagadas por el ayuntamiento a sus legitimos dueños para su demolición, informacion que algunos nuevos propietarios desconocian, por eso las ves algunas en perfecto estado y otras casi en ruinas ¡Un saludo desde valencia!
I love your vids
great vid thank you! only thing they are not muscle, but clams thats why they are smaller (tiny)!
I am in Valencia….it was so helpful …I think I will give it a miss …thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I'm moving to Valencia and El Cabanyal is on the top of my list. I read so much praise for it online but your video shows aspects of the barrio I didn't know. Any advice for me if I move there? Would you say it's safe for a female? Ty ❤
When I first heard about the area I thought I would like to stay in one of the original fishing cottages. I loved the idea of staying at the beach. But after doing more research I decided not to book there, mainly because I would have to travel back into town to sightsee. Reviews did state that some areas were to be avoided at night. I choose El Carmen instead but I truly appreciate the bohemian feel and colorful antique tile of El Cabanyal .
If possible can you list the places you visit in the comments section? I could not read the name of the seafood restaurant. All of them look intriguing and worth checking out.
The seafood restaurant is called Taska La Reina
We are coming to Valencia and want to see the beach. Which beach would you recommend?
We’re travelling to this area in August, staying 5 mins from the beach (on Carrer d’Escalante). We will have two young children with us. I was led to believe it was a nice area and am a bit worried now 😬
Don’t worry! Enjoy your stay.
Hello, I am also going to Valencia, in the El Cabanyal district, with my family for a few days. Tell me how it was, whether it was safe. Regards, Julia.
I see the most dangerous hood in the city in the tittle - I click the video straight away.
What I noticed at the Malvarossa beach - lack of proper service along the promenade. Cafes and bars mostly look primitive a cheap. How disappointing it was!
Beach sand is very dusty - I have not seen it anywhere else. If you grab the sand and throw it little up you will understand what I mean right away. It is not just sand, but sand with a lot of dust in it. If look at the water few meters away from the water line, you will see the very strange and totally untransparent water due to the same dust in the sand, but in in a water. It does not stay steadily untransparent, but only gets like that when every wave breaks (for a some seconds). And wide part of a beach is always wet for some reason - strange too.
@ANTOANETTA hi guys, a local here. yep, it's safe to come any time as a visitor.
but for the ones thinking about to settle here, think twice. it really depends on the zone. there are a couple of areas you must totally avoid, where it's impossible to sleep, where you will witness your neighbor gangs selling drugs (and not just weed, there's a lot of heroin addicts). they will try hard to push you out of "their" streets if you don't play by "their rules", they are easily agitated and will threaten and harass you. street party is every night up to 2am, 3am or 4am every summer and police doesn't do anything about it.
that said, 200m away from those areas it's totally quiet, small town vibe. most locals have developed some kind of blindness which allow them to ignore what's going on "over there" and just avoid the ugly areas as they don't exist.
sad but true.
La zona de los gitanos.
Hello, is it safe on Calle de la Barraca because I want to spend a few days there with my family? Regards, Max.
I stayed in the area recently. it didn't feel unsafe at all, then again, I'm from Chicago. One complain would be that they are tearing down the beautiful buildings for ugly condo buildings.
Muchas gracias, pero what is dangerous el cabanylla area , robbery,drugs pros, please explain.
Wel the neighborhood of cabañal was a very safe place in the past . But because of real state boom of the 90,s and 2000 the town hall ( ruled by the political party of PP ) started to abandon the neighborhood in order to destroy those houses and build taller buildings so a lot of neighbours left the neighboorhood and people without money started to get into houses by force and sometimes even some streets you could saw people selling drugs. The political party PP dereriorated the neighborhood in order to create a bad place to live
But people fight to maintain alive the cabañal
Some times even fighting against the police
I live there when I was a Child un the 60,s and 70,s
Thanks for watching! Yes, I know there has been a lot going on there….glad people are fighting back.
Y las leyes que protegen a los okupas de quién son? La especulación es culpa de los dos grandes partidos y el engendro que gobierna ahora a dejado invadir la ciudad por grupos de mafias de la ocupación, al final la gente humilde de toda la vida es la que lo sufre.
Looks like some streets in Cuba and it s very similar and I am not a fan of this kind of streets.i would love to visit Valencia. It s on my list.
We were there a few days ago. Totally agree with you. Great place to visit and have a drink and food. But to live...not so much for us. We liked Russafa. Today we go to Valencia from Alicante. We will be near Mercat Central. Bike riding through Turia Park. Nice weather so far.
Hubiera sido un crimen demoler El Cabañal para sustituirlo por feos edificios modernos, como ha ocurrido en tantos lugares...
Hay que recuperarlo, porque hay zonas de tráfico de drogas y otras cosas que lo deteriora mucho, cuando yo era niña mis tíos tenían una casa en primera línea de la malvarrosa y el barrio era muy bonito a mi mi encantaban aquellas casas, afortunadamente aún están la mayoría.
@@mar_casabuena7503 Tiemes razón, habría entonces que mejorar ese aspecto. Me alegro de que quede mucho de lo que fue, ahora no se construye de esa maera tan bonita y acogedora.
This is very easy to explain. The end of the cabañal is not the best place to live in,ok, but it is only that area. But to say in your video; OR Most Dangerous Neighbourhood by the Beach in Valencia. It was in the 80's and beginning of 90's, not anymore. I do not know why you have to say that to be honest. Tittle is not correct, and I do not think it is nice for Valencian people, even less for people from cabañal. Just because of the tittle I would press NO ME GUSTA. Sorry
Hello, is it safe on Calle de la Barraca because I want to spend a few days there with my family? Regards, Max.
Haha. I travelled all over California and every famous beach incl Laguna and Newport etv.What you consider luxury is standard in EU. So this is chic for the US
Can you do Mislata
I might 😋
it would be useful to see how nice the beach really is, and how are the streets at night.. especially from the security point of view... maybe a statistics of crime in the area as well?

Where was the aspect of danger?
I’ve been there a few times. It seems to have a lot of poverty with some very expensive and trendy houses here and there. Which seems strange. I saw a family bathing at a construction site. I don’t know what to make of that barrio, but we decided that it wasn’t the area for us.
Exactly. Some parts have so much history yet others..,look distressed. That’s why everyone should make a choice 😊
You still have a LOT of LA in You! A little "Poverty" makes you visibly "uneasy"!
Maybe that's not exactly what I need for retirement but were getting close low.impact low tension cheap seaside city....came real close here, except for the crappy neighborhoods. I like the fact
That artists run this place. Cuase while that's not my crowd, they keep culture high and eventually displace the non cultural,
The Guardian basically consider "dangerous", "crime-ridden" and "cool" to be synonyms.
I am here right now. The place is not developed and in the evening its empty, feels unsafe a bit and really not much going on. It will be great, in maybe 10 years.
El cabañal lo millor de valensia
All yachts are closer to the marina's entrance (closer to the sea) and very few inside. Unfortunately. So, inner marine mostly looks almost empty (not like in Alicante, where you can sit at marina and enjoy the yachts view).
The neighbourhood of Malvarossa beach is just horrible - very poor, old, falling apart, full of tricky people and many gypsies. It has to be flatten by bulldozers completely and replaced with new, modern hotels, discos, restaurants, shops, fancy buildings to look presentable and attractive. Otherwise the way it is now ruins whole impression about the beaching in Valencia. I was very surprised and disappointed to find that arear right next to the beach. Have a lot of photos from those dangerous ruins - there is nothing cool at all.
Ahahahaha ell Antoniq!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 кво ставааа???
? Antoaneta 😊
@@ANTOANETTA извинявай!

Sabes donde esta la mejor horchata de toda Valencia?
Alboraya.
@@krls3215 Te recomiendo que pruebes la horchata de Almazera, Horchateria Subís.
Ya me contarás.
Un saludo cordial desde Valencia.
Que mona eres hija.
Mi país si. Es maravilloso. Y Valencia es especial.
Bajo tu cámara y forma de mirar las cosas, el mundo es especial.
She is the kind of bourgie who uses the phrase "up and coming" in reference to gentrification.
News flash….people and their money are always on the move. People who piss and moan about “gentrification” never mention their own story of replacing the original residents wherever they live nor do they speak about the owners who took advantage of raising values that sellers get. The only constant in the universe is change, either learn to adapt or perish
If you’re watching this video, please be aware that she barely stepped two streets back into Cabanyal. The area close to the beach is nice and has great things to do/ places to eat. But MOST of the neighborhood looks more like how she described as poor and run down. If you’re able to renovate, I think it’s a great spot to buy an investment property. But it is really many years away from being desirable. I think it eventually will be though.
That massive building is illegally occupied by gypsies. It's not part of cabañal and it is the only "poor" part of the neighborhood. If you take a look to the prices of houses you'll see people that pay 300.000 are not poor.
It's not dangerous at all
Si os gusta el pescado, estas en uno de los mejores lugares, bueno en toda la costa de España 😏
