If you can help it, try avoiding the city beach (El Postiguet). It's usually the dirtiest of the city, and the most packed. If you're close by, try getting the tram for 10 min and get to Playa de San Juan, where there's a 14km beach with fewer people and usually cleaner. If you've got a car and you might want to explore one of the many many beaches around the city that offer crystalline clear waters. Also, as opposed to Valencia, we're known for many types of rice dishes. The most common ones could be Arroz a banda or Arroz del senyoret, but you can get dozens of types in every place.

Last year I went to Spain for the first time. I did Valencia + Alicante 🤩 both cities are so underrated -- stunning architectures, buzzing markets and incredible food. Ah, and congrats on 20k.
