Valencia, with around 809,000 residents, is Spain's third-largest city and home to roughly 90,000 students between the Universitat de València and the Universitat Politècnica de València. The districts of Ruzafa, El Carmen and Benimaclet form the centre of student life, with bars in old market halls, live music and cheap rents.
