Gonna vanish somewhere for a while. Looking for a fun city in Spain, Italy or Greece primarily. Can be a smaller place too if the vibe is good, but not looking for party-islands, as I still prefer an actual city with real people.
I’m in my early 30s, male. I’ve never prioritized fun in my travels before.
Valencia or Mallorca!
How would you compare the two? I just arrived in Valencia for the foreseeable future, and I’m wondering whether Mallorca is worth the time (and if so, how much time). I’m generally not a fan of living on an island, especially one that is notorious for partying and tourists… But I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing about Mallorca?
Hmm, I speak fluent Spanish so don’t frequent the tourist enclaves of Mallorca! There are parts undoubtedly aimed at tourists (aka the city centre) but that isn’t the whole island. Find something interesting to do to meet locals (badminton club, art class, cooking thing). They will show you the Mallorca of their childhood. Admittedly, I may be bias as I had a bit of a summer fling in Mallorca which could be clouding my view of the place. It’s only a 30 minute plane ride away anyway, go check it out and see for yourself. :)
Come in Turin, north Italy!
It’s near Milan, pretty cheap for standard, and it offers many fun option as club, music events, fair
Sorry I’ve seen late!
I suggest you to get lost in Valentino park and get inspired by people around. In that area (avoid pushers) there are friendly people u can just chat with. There is one of my favorite place on earth, Imbarchino Valentino.
I love Bunker too for night events -it’s 5km from center– and Vanchiglietta for happy hour.
Title says Mediterranean and I’m seeing Lisbon pop up multiple times, even seen Bilbao and San Sebastián. Ffs look at a map.
Napoli!
Napoli is interesting but seems kinda risky? I mean vibe-like, it can be a bit hectic and harsh?
As a guy in your 30’s who is single you will have way more fun in Barcelona than Lisbon. Greece and Italy I have no idea about but Barcelona is great.
