The Home
Folks Co-Living
Folks Co-Living offers stylish rooms, dedicated coworking, and a vibrant community programme in the heart of Valencia. The space runs weekly events including yoga sessions, language exchanges, group dinners, and city explorations designed to build genuine connections.
The Experience
Valencia delivers Mediterranean warmth, world-class food (it’s the birthplace of paella), and a thriving creative scene at a fraction of Barcelona’s cost. Folks provides the community layer on top — a home base with people who share your pace and priorities.
Who It’s For
Creatives and remote workers looking for slower travel and deeper friendships in one of Spain’s most liveable cities. The two-week minimum stay gives relationships time to develop beyond surface-level hostel interactions.

Workspace
Work with a Valencia, Spain Rhythm
Coworking included with reliable internet.
The Vibe
Mornings are for focused work in the coworking space. Lunchtime spills into the kitchen or nearby cafes in the neighbourhood. Afternoons offer yoga sessions, language exchanges, or just a walk through the Turia gardens. Evenings bring community dinners, bar crawls through El Carmen, or chill nights on the terrace.
Day trips to the Albufera natural park, beach days at Malvarrosa, or exploring the old town and Central Market on Saturday mornings.
Living in Valencia, Spain
Valencia is the sweet spot of Spanish cities for remote workers. It has Barcelona's Mediterranean energy without the prices or crowds. The climate delivers 300+ days of sunshine. The food scene — anchored by paella, which was literally invented here — is excellent and affordable. And the old town, beaches, and Turia park create a city that's genuinely pleasant to live in, not just visit.
The city is compact and bikeable. Most nomads settle in Ruzafa (trendy, restaurant-heavy), El Carmen (old town, nightlife), or around the Turia gardens. A menu del dia (three-course lunch with drink) runs €10-12. Monthly rent for a one-bedroom is €700-900, but coliving solves that with a simpler setup.
The nomad community is large and growing. Coworking spaces, weekly meetups, and a healthy mix of short-term visitors and long-term residents make it easy to build a social circle quickly. The airport has direct flights to most of Europe, and the AVE train reaches Madrid in 1h40.
Central Market
One of Europe's largest fresh food markets, housed in a stunning Art Nouveau building. Go early on a Saturday for the full experience — the seafood and produce sections are extraordinary.
Turia Gardens
A 9km-long park built in a drained riverbed that runs through the entire city. Perfect for running, cycling, or just walking between neighbourhoods.
Albufera natural park
A freshwater lagoon and rice paddy region south of the city. This is where paella was born. Sunset boat rides on the lagoon cost €5.

The Honest Briefing
Fly into Valencia Airport (VLC), 15 minutes from the city centre by metro (line 3/5, €4.90 including airport supplement). Get a Valenbisi bike-share subscription (€30/year) — it's the best way to get around. EU SIMs work fine; otherwise grab a local SIM from any Vodafone or Orange shop.
