VALENCIA PACKING LIST

When packing, please keep in mind that most things can be purchased in Valencia, but prices may differ from the U.S. Also, a good packing tip is to set out what you’d like to bring, then put back half of it – you need less than you think you do!

You may want to itemize the contents of your baggage for insurance purposes in the unlikely case that your bags are lost. Remember, you will need to room to take new things you find and purchase home with you!
