SOCIAL NETWORKS IN VALENCIA
Valencia and nearby towns or villages can be lonely at times for foreign residents, especially those with little knowledge of Spanish. Furthermore a custom of popping down the local tapas bar to join strangers at their table does not form part of the unique local culture.
A useful option for expats to catch up with others in a similar situation can be found on social networks. Several expat groups can be found on Facebook or the Meetup platform. Some arrange get-togethers for a wide range of activities including meeting others for drinks or a meal.
