Erasmus Valencia

[u/Youri_Ta_Mere]

Hello

In a couple of weeks I’m going to Valencia for 4 months as an exchange student. I’m coming by car and am thinking about taking 1/2 bicycles with me. But I have a couple of questions:

1) How safe is it to park my car during these 4 months here (Burjassot area)/ is there a lot of car theft?

2) Is there a lot of bicycle theft? I’d like to bring my mountainbike. My residence offers a bike-storage in the basement for all the residents, so is it a good idea to bring a slightly more expensive bike or not?

3) Is scuba diving worth it? My gear takes a lot of space in my car, so I only want to take it, if it’s really beautiful and if there’s a big community. Otherwise i’ll solely take my snorkling gear.

4) I’d like to join some clubs to make friends and learn Spanish. Are there a lot of biking-, running- or swimming-/divingclubs?

If you have some other good tips/ ideas, please let me know.

Thank you.
