Hi, I’m Jiyaa, your local host here in sunny Valencia. What I love most about this city is its perfect mix of history and modern charm - where every street tells a story and life moves at a wonderfully relaxed Mediterranean pace. You’ll often find me strolling through the Turia Gardens, exploring Ruzafa or El Carmen, or enjoying a traditional paella by the sea. I know Valencia’s food scene, hidden corners, and local lifestyle inside out and I can’t wait to share them with you. Whether you’re into sightseeing, museums or simply soaking up the city’s atmosphere, I’ll make sure you experience the true heart of Valencia like a local!
