Hi, I’m Carl

Hi, I’m Carl, a curious local who loves exploring Valencia’s streets and capturing its beauty through photography. What I adore most about this city is that it truly has it all - a clean, vibrant atmosphere, rich culture and nature right at your doorstep. I spend my time wandering through Ciutat Vella, Ruzafa and the city center, always on the lookout for unique spots to snap photos or simply enjoy a peaceful walk. I also love heading to the beach to soak in the views and relax. With my insider knowledge of hidden gems and photogenic corners, I enjoy helping visitors see Valencia through a local’s eyes and discover its most memorable sights.

Hi, I’m Malena

Valencia

After ten years in London, I came back home with a fresh perspective and a deep appreciation for my city’s creativity and warmth. I live in El Cabanyal, a colorful seaside neighborhood full of stories, culture, and life. What I enjoy most is exploring Valencia’s blend of Gothic, Modernist, and futuristic architecture, and capturing the city’s magic light - from the soft tones of sunrise by the sea to the golden glow of sunset. Guiding others through these moments is my favorite way to show the true essence of Valencia.
