  • as from above, I am a student looking to study Spanish in Spain during the whole of August. I have narrowed my cities down to: Valencia, Alicanta, and Malaga. I just need help ...show more

  • Answer:

    Valencia. It will be hot, but not as ridiculously hot as Malaga and Alicante. A friend of mine from Valencia, now living in Madrid, once told me that it's a "promiscuous city," for whatever it's worth. In any case, Alicante and Malaga will be full of tourists (German and otherwise) in the summer; Valencia will seem a bit more like a 'real' Spanish city. Although there is officially a dialect of Catalan that's spoken there sometimes, in fact all you'll hear and speak will be Spanish 95% of the time. -- And yes, it has fun beaches nearby.

Malaga is not british at all, it is the towns surrounding Malaga, such as Torremolinos and Benalmadena which have a lot of British tourists. The beaches on the Costa del Sol in my opinion are not as nice as the beaches on the Costas Brava or Blanca near Valencia and Alicante. In both Valencia and Alicante, people also speak Valenciana which is similar to Catalan. I live in Valencia and people never speak to me in Valenciana as I speak to them in Spanish. All street signs are in Spanish and Valenciana and you see other signs around in both languages. It is great to live in a city that makes an effort to preserve an important part of their culture. Valencia is a big city and there are lots of things to do and it is a very beautiful city, I would not think you would get bored here. I have lived here since May of last year and I am not bored :-). Alicante is smaller and I have visited a few times, but would not like to live there as I found it a lot less interesting than Valencia. I would choose Valencia because there are excellent rail connections to Madrid and Barcelona - you may wish to visit these cities during your stay. Also, there is the metro and buses which take directly to the beach. You will not want to live in the areas closest to the beach because they are not very nice.

The best place to learn Spanish in my opinion would be Peñiscola north of Valencia. It has an amazing beach. Get a copy of El Cid with Charlton Heston. The final scene is El Cid riding out of Valencia to defeat the Moors, but it wasn't Valencia, it was Peñiscola. There are few tourists from the UK there, but it will get overdeveloped eventually.

I fully support R.J.´s answer. For me Valencia is the best of the large coastal cities in Spain.
