Looking to book a four night trip there over the weekend.
Anybody been? Hoping the weather won't be too shit.

Fly out Saturday afternoon and come back late Wednesday night - does that seem like the right amount of time?

I'd knock a day off that to be honest, unless you fancy venturing further afield.
I was bored to be honest. It was fine but I wouldn’t recommended it

Seville was where we wanted to go but flight times mean we can’t go.
Alternatives were Barcelona or Lisbon.
Maybe too much time really. Nice place, not much going on though so you could pop along the coast to Benidorm for a tear up!

Went for 5 nights last September. Would recommend the following
- If you're staying in the city, rent bikes and ride through the park to the beach. Takes you past the famous modern buildings too.
- Valencia v Sociedad on Sunday.
- Gordon 10 for steak and Belgian beer.
- Look up somewhere nice to go for paella.

Lovely parks from what I remember, they run right though the city centre.
Agree on the paella.
Shopping there is good.

Went to Madrid last year and loved it, I like the sound of that.
Also already scoped out the tickets for Sunday, £18 on Viagogo can't go wrong.

Lovely city. The parks that run through it used to be a river which they re routed to prevent flooding IIRC.

Be sure to check out Manolo El Bombo's bar right next to the ground, on the corner behind the main stand. Stadium is a bit dated but I really liked, so f***ing steep.

Also done Madrid. If you enjoyed Madrid, you'll enjoy Valencia IMO.
Smaller, but still vibrant and the benefit of the coast as well. Like Barcelona, without the arseholes.

That's great to be honest. We said we wanted Spain for the food, drink and decent weather but didn't fancy Barcelona because it's busy and stressful.
I'm garna book it toneet.

Loved it but it's meant to be wet and windy at this time of year.
Barca seems stressful, haven't been since I was 18 like.

Got that noted, apparently they're known for their fried sardines?
