Woman goes on holiday to party in Spain but is startled when she gets there
A holidaymaker who often shares videos of her travels with her followers online has shared her experience of one Spanish hotspot. She admitted she went there to party, but it didn't exactly go to plan
Scores of holidaymakers jet off to unwind and let their hair down. Besides sunbathing on the golden sands, many travellers relish a refreshing drink as the evening sun sets and like to explore local bars.
Yet, one female traveller pursuing just that was left underwhelmed during her holiday to the Spanish city of Valencia. Chelsie, who flaunts her travel lifestyle to over 12,500 followers on Instagram as @chelsieelf, recently shared a video that captured her bewildered reaction to Valencia's surprisingly tame nightlife scene. Her reel's caption stated: "When you didn't read the news and go to Valencia expecting amazing nightlife and late-open bars."
Partway through her video, a news headline appears that reads: "Spanish seaside city to close bars early and remove terraces in huge tourism crackdown."
Chelsie then elaborated in her post's caption with insights she gained while in Valencia.
She revealed: "Because of too much noise from people partying in bars and clubs, recently police enforced closing times of 1am, many places closed at 12. I still found a bar that closed at 3 on a weekday though."
In addition, she commented on her further observations of Valencia, stating the cuisine is "relatively cheaper than other parts of Spain that tourists visit". She expressed admiration for the city's "interesting architecture" and pointed out that the prime beaches were 'at least an hour South or North'.
Commenting in the section below, a savvy individual pointed out: "Tourism was killing the city, this is a way to crack down on it. Most of the locals now go out outside of the city centre, since the city centre is basically now all Airbnbs."
Many people also highlighted last year's devastating floods in Valencia which claimed numerous lives.
One commenter remarked: "Yeah there was also a massive flood that killed a lot of people and Valencia is still recovering from it. It never hurts to learn a bit before traveling."
Another chimed in saying: "I'm in Valencia, 7 months ago we had a massive flood, lots of people died and others lost their homes and cars and businesses... so yeah maybe partying is on our minds.."
A third contributed: "There was a huge flood that people are trying to recover from so people are still mourning."
One Valencian resident also made an appeal writing: "As a Valencian, please keep coming but being respectful of the culture, nature and residents."

Aberdeen brutally troll EVERY Premiership rival with video including Celtic captain crying & Rangers TV's ‘corrupt' clip
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ABERDEEN have caused a stir on Scottish football's fixtures reveal day - by brutally trolling each one of their Premiership rivals. Clubs tend to fire out the fixture lists in a matter-of-fact fashion on a a day like this but the Dons took a different tack and their supporter base was loving it as they poked fun at each top flight rival in order. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Callum McGregor is pictured crying at the Scottish Cup final Credit: Instagram / @aberdeenfc 7 St Mirren are lampooned for hosting a Celtic shop at their stadium Credit: Instagram / @aberdeenfc 7 John Brown's 'corrupt' rant at Nick Walsh also features Credit: Instagram / @aberdeenfc The hilarious Dons video was released on the club's Instagram channel, entitled 'A look at our 25/26 fixtures' - and it doesn't spare anyone's blushes. For instance, when it comes to the clash with Celtic at home on August 10th the video simply shows a clip of Hoops captain Callum McGregor CRYING on the Hampden pitch after their defeat to the Dons. For Rangers, ahead of the visit to Ibrox on November 1, the Dons have simply shared the Rangers TV clip which has got John 'Bomber' Brown in so much trouble. The club have had to swallow a £3,000 fine after Brown fumed at the non-award of a Nico Raskin 'goal' which was clearly over the line by calling it 'corrupt'. As for Hibs, the Dons show the video of Hibs new signing Jamie McGrath celebrating the club's Scottish Cup win on open top bus day, while fans chant 'Hibs are falling apart'. The dig at Falkirk involves a comic take on their ultras attempting to start a scrap at a train station - while the Dons' swipe at Dundee is new boss Steven Pressley saying if you want a manager who has a history of winning trophies "I'm not your man". St Mirren are lampooned over the time they incorporatedCeltic branding as part of their stadium for friendlies back while work was being done at Parkhead back in 2015, while Kilmarnock''s is a video of SunSport's very own Kris Boyd. The Killie and Gers hero is asked to contribute to live coverage of a match on Sky despite the fact he's eating a pie at the time. All in all, it's fair to say it's got the Scottish football world talking, with the main reaction one of approval. Dons fans took to the comments to say: "This is superb" FOUR to join Rangers before Champions League Plus Aarons impact on Tavernier REVEALED A second said: "This is epic, just what I want from our club." A third said: "Give the admin a raise" 7 Steven Pressley's appointment as Dundee boss gets a mention Credit: Instagram / @aberdeenfc 7 SunSport's very own Kris Boyd features in the Kilmarnock entry Credit: Instagram / @aberdeenfc A fourth replied: "Well done the media team".
