Valencia after vacation: a guide to enjoying the city like a local

When summer comes to an end, Valencia doesn't lose its magic. On the contrary: September and October are months when the city reveals its most authentic side. If you stay in a MONLAR apartment, you have the perfect opportunity to explore it at a different pace, away from the high season. Here we tell you how to experience Valencia as its residents do.

Experience the city at a different pace

In September, the streets once again fill with local life: terraces filled with neighbors, markets in full swing, and a more relaxed atmosphere than in the height of summer. It's time for:

• Stroll through the Turia Gardens at sunset.
• Discover charming neighborhoods like Ruzafa or Benimaclet.
• Take a trip to the Albufera to watch the sunset.

Flavors you can't miss

• Senyoret rice: Perfect for sharing.
• Horchata with fartons: A classic that tastes even better in September.
• Clóchinas: Small and tasty mussels, typical of the Valencian Community.

Culture and leisure after returning from vacation

Exhibitions and museums

Visit the IVAM , the Silk Museum , or the City of Arts and Sciences with fewer lines and more peace of mind.

Markets and shopping

• Central Market : Fresh produce and gastronomic souvenirs.
• Colón : Ideal for a drink or gourmet shopping.

Tips for getting around like a local

• Bicycle or scooter: Valencia is very flat and has miles of bike lanes.
• Public transport: Metro and bus cover the entire city and beach areas.
• On foot: The best way to discover unexpected corners.

Valencia after the summer is a gift for those who enjoy peace and authenticity. From your apartment in MONLAR , you can immerse yourself in the local rhythm and enjoy a unique experience.
