healthier life are becoming a reality
Spain has one of the highest life expectancies
in the world very soon the average age
here will be above 90. but why is that?
one thing is to talk about it but
another is to actually do it and it
seems like Valencia is taking a huge
leap into converting the city into an
ecco Paradise today I will take you
inside Europe's green capital for 2024.
I love this area how it separates the
buildings on the left and the right with
the green path in between and these palm
trees remind me of LA so I get a little
bit of both worlds Valencia is breeding
new life into urban Spaces by creating
lush green Oasis throughout the city. get
ready for this, Valencia is about to bury
its Railway tracks under a massive Park
creating a green belt all the way from
the city to the southern districts the
new Garcia Lorca Boulevard will be open
only for pedestrians and cyclists adding
to the eco-friendly Vibe this 400
million dollar project set to kick off
next year and finish by 2027 is part of
the city's bold move to combat climate
change and transform the cityscape it
takes a lot of money and effort and work
but it also starts with each of us how
are you using these green spaces are you
where you throwing your trash are you
using public transportation are you
driving cars what kind of cars everyone
has its own Consciousness and
responsibility to keep this earth clean
to keep the city you live in clean to
have a better life to to live a
healthier life to eat cleaner foods and
to breathe pure air
but truly I can't believe how quiet it
is today it's almost like a Ghost Town
they have been in some festivities I
heard fireworks yesterday and I said oh
my God isn't it enough we just got out
of Fallas Festival but it's not the festivities
are non-stop here for about three weeks
nothing works because there's always
some holiday. right now I just wanted to
show you a water fountain so there are
22 of these fountains installed
throughout the city I actually never use
them but I want to try it now so the
water is clean filtered water and
chilled of course so let's see now
that's it it's pretty simple you just
have to hold it
you're in a rush and you're in the city
at least you have an option to drink
clean water
and if you truly want to experience
Valencia like a loco I
created The Ultimate Guide to Valencia
which I'll link in the description there
you will find the restaurants that I
recommend different neighborhoods
activities and everything you need to
know before you arrive in Valencia.
Not sure if you know but the water in
Valencia is very hard it literally makes
your hair awful it's not drinkable it's
different the clothes the Mediterranean
Coast when you start from Barcelona
Valencia all the way to Andalucia
it's a granite in the soil so the water
is very hard it's not drinkable and of
course you need some sort of a
filtration system or you need to buy
mineral water just recently we have
installed a filtration system at home
and I'm so happy about it I've been
researching everywhere and if you're
interested I'll link this in the
description and give you some more
information about that let's discuss
sustainable Mobility Valencia is making
it easier and more enjoyable for people
to embrace eco-friendly transportation
and it's so easy to rent a bike you can
just do it through the app you click on
the app you find the location the bike
that you want they even have ratings and
you just press it there to release
anyone look at these roads for bikes
windy little roads and a cute space for
the scooter I really hope they add a
couple bike stations from Valenbisi in the
park I know maybe it's complicated it I
don't know if there's some some rules
about that but all the bike stations are
outside of the park it makes it a little
complicated to park up there and then
walk down to to just enjoy the park
there's literally only one bike left I
think everyone is at the beach maybe
that's where everybody is the weather is
beautiful so I don't blame them with an
extensive network of bicycle Lanes in
cycle Street residents can enjoy the
benefits of cycling while contributing
to a Greener City you can see these
patches of green almost everywhere
between the residence
and I find them so relaxing
[Music]
because again the park is over there
and these places are just if you just
need to step out of your house and sit
in a little garden if you don't have a
Terrace and enjoy your sunny day here in
Valencia there are a few plazas that are
being renovated and created for better
walking conditions you can spend time
around at the coffee places just
everything to make the life more
pleasant and more sustainable
they're so green
[Music]
smart recycling Urban noise reduction
pure water initiatives and wave energy
are Innovative projects that are making
a real difference in Valencia by
prioritizing the environment and
sustainability the city is really
setting an example for others to follow
actually everyone is at the park picnics
games
what not. I can't stress enough how much
I love this park I appreciate it every
day some of the initiatives that this
city is taking to make it even Greener
and even more sustainable are incredible
the park is here it doesn't need
anything to get any better I'll enjoy it
every day as much as I can isn't this a
true Oasis
look at this
so this is the end of the Park turia
Gardens and there is a plan to extend
the park all the way to the marina all
the way to the beach which will be
amazing because right now it's this area
is not as pleasant Valencia being the
European's green Capital continues with
creating this agricultural markets in a
few places in Valencia and this one is
situated next to Colon market and it's
amazing how everybody can meet with the
farmers and really truly buy kilometers
zero product fresh kale fresh veggies
fresh fruits and not only driven by
prices and markets everything it's
directly from the farmers they're just a
few stands right now and they're open
only on Tuesdays in this side of the
town you can get anything from honey to
cosmetic products they will be growing
this initiative more and more
I love these radishes
first time I tried them they were they
were long I saw them in Paris when I was
little and they were this big and they
cut and they eat them with butter they
want to connect consumers directly to
the farmers so everything it's uh it's
truly kilometer zero

Balance between the this type of of
