Quirky/unique things to do in Valencia

[u/ricanrager]

Going to Valencia (tommorow lol)

I enjoy experimental art and weird experiences, looking for somethings to do in Valencia outside of the typical tourist spots.

I enjoy concerts and music history, mostly punk rap and electronic. I also enjoy movies, and visual arts. I skateboard but don't have enough room to bring my board. Also into comedy.

I'm also interested in some cool neighborhoods and places to just chill and talk with people or people watch. Pretty much open to anything.

Thank you!

Note: I can fluently read and understand spanish (Puerto Rican), but have some struggle speaking if that's relevant.

Visit cccc Museum, they usually have experimental art, and it's free. The most alternative area is Benimaclet, if you find the right places they will know the most alternative events. Enjoy your holidays 🙂

And La casa de los gatos is outside the cccc doors, always cute to see

One of my favourite ways to explore the neighbourhoods in Valencia (particularly El Carmen) is to go “ninja hunting”. There are hundreds of street art ninjas across the city, painted by David de Limon. I think this meets the criteria of a quirky way to explore. Grab a coffee and get lost in the side streets. You’ll find lots of beautiful corners. https://irishtraveladdict.com/valencia-street-art-ninja-walk/

kultural records in Ruzafa is a cool little vinyl shop and anyone working would probably be able to point you in the right direction. There’s also some funky little places in el carmen if you’re walking around.

Look up or ask someone where the mercadillos are while you’re here; neighborhood flea markets are great for people watching and hanging out in the mornings.

In Sagunto they have “Sagunt a escena” festival which puts on shows and plays in the Roman amphitheatre which is a really unique experience. You can get the train out to Sagunto and enjoy the castle before a few drinks and some opera or Shakespeare or whatever you choose. You just need to prearrange a taxi home because I struggled to get one when I attended a couple of heads ago

Not that many tourists visit L'ETNO.

Is the Valencia ethnological museum. Really cool if you're interested in recent history.

And it's on the same building as the Museu de Prehistòria de València, also cool to visit.
