Question 1

How does it actually work?

Accepted Answer

You pick the group that fits you on this website, click Join, verify your WhatsApp number, and within 48 hours (usually the same day) a real person adds you to the right WhatsApp community. That's it. No apps to download, no fees.

Question 2

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Joining any Valencia People Club group is 100 percent free. We do not sell your number, we do not spam the chat, we do not run ads inside the groups.

Question 3

Can I join more than one group?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you're a digital nomad who loves the beach at dawn and football on Saturdays, join the Nomads, Beach Social and Football Fans groups. Most members are in 2 to 4 groups.

Question 4

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Accepted Answer

Each group stays under 250 members with active moderation. Anyone posting promo, crypto, or off-topic links gets removed. The chat is for members, by members.

Question 5

I'm only in Valencia for 5 days. Worth joining?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly why Newcomers and Short Stays exists. You get a welcome dinner, flat-hunting tips if you need them, and a dozen locals telling you the real spots within hours of landing.

Question 6

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp is how Valencia actually runs day to day - flatmates, plans, groups, favors. If you're in Valencia it's the one app to install. If you really can't, message us from the contact page and we'll figure something out.

Question 7

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Accepted Answer

Every new member sends one intro message before being added - 1 photo, first name, where you're from, which group you want. We remove anyone flagged for harassment or scams. We're a community of residents and travellers, not a business directory.

Question 8

Who runs this?

Accepted Answer

Valencia People Club is run by long-term Valencia residents who believe nobody should stay alone here. It's a labor of love, not a company.
