Siesta hours — Many shops close 14:00-17:00. Supermarkets stay open. Spanish bureaucracy — NIE, empadronamiento, gestoría often needed. Budget time and patience. Rental scams — Never pay without visiting. Idealista is safest. Watch for fake listings. August shutdown — Many businesses close 2-3 weeks. Plan accordingly. Paella timing — Valencians eat paella at LUNCH (13:00-15:00), never dinner. Tourist restaurants ignore this. Beach vs Centro trade-off — Beach areas are 20-30 min from Centro. Choose based on lifestyle. Valenciano pressure — Some government services prefer Valenciano. Spanish always accepted legally. Fallas chaos — March 15-19: amazing but LOUD. Book early or leave entirely. Northern European expectations — Things move slower. Adapt to local pace. Banking hours — Most banks close at 14:00. Digital banking is easier.
