Hi and welcome to my Valencia website!

I’ve lived and worked in many Mediterranean countries but always come back to Spain. Why? Because the people are so warm and friendly; the lifestyle is so relaxing, it really is one of the most lovely places to live or visit.

For a couple of years, I lived in Madrid and I loved the hustle and bustle of big city life, but I much prefer my city life next to the coast and with Valencia, you have the best of both worlds.

A magical city edged with miles and miles of white sandy beaches, the latest fashion, top concerts, stunning architecture plus sporting events, which include tennis and sailing. Delicious wine and cava, a buzzing nightlife and a variety of cultural events which are held throughout the year (the July Festival and Las Fallas are amazing). I hope you enjoy this website and Valencia as much as I do. I also have a website on the neighboring city of Barcelona and another on the lovely island of Cyprus which I know you’ll love.

For the past few years, I’ve been busy writing novels, so if you’re interested in reading crime thrillers, you can check them out at Cara Alexander or like my fb author page and follow my progress.

I hope you enjoy Spain as much as I do!

Disfruta Valencia!
