Josh and Vicky made the move, alongside their dog Hodu and have shared what life is like living in Europe as ex pats.
The couple were full of praise for the region they say offers then a low cost of living and few tourists.
It comes after another ex-pat in Valencia warned Britons visiting the area would need paperwork "everywhere".
According to the Valencia City Hall Statistics Office, as of 2019 over 100,000 non-Spanish nationals were living in the city.
This makes for 13 percent of the cities population, with more living in the general Valencia region.
Vicky and Josh explained to Express.co.uk : "We chose Valencia because it’s the third-largest city in Spain, yet not overrun by tourism.
"Then you get beautiful weather, a comparatively low cost of living, the beach, laid back lifestyle, bike lanes, big parks, great food, the list goes on."
The couple enjoys local life in Valencia, but also enjoy its proximity to other beautiful parts of Spain.
The couple went on: "You can have a quick weekend trip to Barcelona or Madrid without their mass tourism and high cost of living.
"For us, it’s the best place in Spain."
Recently the region was recognised being an excellent place for ex-pats to relocate to.
The couple said: "Valencia has just ranked the #1 destination in the world for ex-pats according to The Expat City Ranking 2020, which was compiled by InterNations.
"We couldn’t agree more with that ranking."
On their Youtube channel the couple share insights into living in Valencia.
