"I think this is because most of Spain doesn't like Basque people. They think they are very violent."
Interesting...could be, I am personally a fan of them my best friend in Spain is from Vitoria, and they're a very proud and hospitable people. Contrary to the stereotype trotted around by most Spaniards.
"Spain is very proud of their different regions"
Oh yes and none more so that the Catalans, damn.
Ok so let's break down
Valencia
Valencia is Spain's 3rd biggest city with a population of around 1,175,000 million. So there's plenty to go out. Whilst not as cosmoplitan as it's Catalan sister Barcelona or the capital Madrid, it still has it's own charm and style, and has a very Spanish vibe, as Valencians are proud Spaniards, unlike many Catalans. This was the last city to fall to Franco during the civil war. So Valencia retains a strong Spanish identity, whilst the street signs are often dual Valenciano-Castellano..you are not bombarded with Valenciano as with Catalan in Barcelona. For the record, Valenciano (the local language) and Catalan are the same language in all but name...just a political thing.
The ladies are typically morenas, although you do get a few rubias and other mixed types. Valencian girls like to look after their appearance and like to party, plastic surgery is not uncommon in Valencia. A lot of guys go to the gym to get jacked. Whilst not as international as Barcelona, Valencia has a MASSIVE student population, and it's especially popular with ERASMUS students. So you can find fly Italian, German, French and Swedish girls all over the place during term time, roughly September through to June. I wasn't there during June-July, however I can imagine there won't be as many foreign women due to study ending, but you can bet your bottom dollar there will be women everywhere, as many Spaniards have summer houses in the Valencia region.
My experience with SNLs with Valencian girls was that sometimes it was like striking gold with a girl who would put out the same night, so it might take a few more approaches and time, but it can be done. In terms of people going out, I would say it's a halfway house between the UK and Colombia, whilst girls might not necessarily go out looking to get chatted up by guys a la UK/America...they don't always go out in massive social groups a la Colombia. Fluent Spanish here is a must, as with the majority of Spain, the level of English here is poor.
Night time venues
Indiana
A very modern club, more a of a poser type place but not overly snobbish. Popular with the locals...has fish tanks with sharks in, pretty cool. Mostly electro music, can find girls here in groups of 2-3, although quite loud, but worth a shot. Entry €20 including 1 Consumación (drink).
Cafe Cantante
Small venue and intimate venue, nothing special but always full of chicks and especially ERASMUS student chicks. One of my favourite hunting grounds. Plays mostly popular music.
L'Umbracle
Cool outdoor club located next to Ciudad de artes y ciencias, again popular with the foreign crowd and Valencianos alike. Stumbled on some Swedish chicks on my last visit, very cool and worth a visit. Electro music.
La Luna Rossa
Another nightclub with an outdoor section and a few dark strobe lighting electro rooms, think it also has a hip-hop room. Located a stone's throw from the beach. Plenty of scope for gaming fly girls in the large outdoor section.
Rumbo 144
Big ERASMUS student venue. Dark and a bit dingy in all honesty..all types of music. Can get quite a young crowd in there sometimes, probably more of a venue to try if you're striking out at others, but maybe easier lays as you get some drunk students in there.
Bananas
You have to take a train ride for this, I can't remember how long exactly but maybe 30 mins or so from Valencia, very popular at weekends i.e. Sat night with the locals. Last train there first train back deal with this one. Good experience. Would recommend if you feel like doing something different, fairly young crowd in there.
Radio City
Alternative vibe and alternative chicks, indie type vibe, although they do play some electro (notice the majority of clubs in Valencia like to play electro/house). I noticed it had a bit of bi/lesbian/gay scene in there too, but you do get the odd fly girl. Nothing special, again do as per Rumbo above if striking out elsewhere.
Bars
I had some success in Irish bars..again these places are frequented by tourists, ex-pats and girls who like to meet foreigners, although the locals do like the Guinness and Irish vibe, so can be a mix.
St.Patricks
Cool staff, friendly vibe, should find chicks there at the weekend looking to hook-up. Can be found on Marques del Turia.
Mulligans
Next to Amistad Metro stop, bit more intimate than St.Patricks and smaller.
There is a massive Cafe Culture as well, so you can stumble upon any random cafe that may look good, go with the flow.
Barrio del Carmen
This is the old town of Valencia and you can swoop fly traveling girls there during the day time sightseeing. Nice on the eye too. Has one bar located there called Jonny Maracas - salsa bar, so good if you like that type of crowd. Be sure to try the local drink
'Agua de Valencia' while you're there.

Also Plaza Honduras has a host of bars and one club, but I can't remember their names exactly.
Plaza de la Reina is a nice area next to Barrio del Carmen, it's a huge square with lots of places to eat and cafes dotted all around it. So ideal for day gaming. Located also conveniently next to it is the shopping district next to
Xativa metro stop, with El Corte Ingles (big upmarket shopping centre). On the bottom floor of Corte Ingles there is a huge makeup and perfume section, lots of fly girls and cute sales assistants, so be sure to check it out.
Always lots of girls hanging out in that district during the day shopping, the retail chain Zara (think Spanish Urban outfitters) is in plentiful supply so be sure to go into one to run some retail day-game.
The train station is right next to this district too, always lots of people hanging around there...the bull ring is also next to the train station, smack in the city centre...if that's your thing.
The beach is not bad for a city beach and is nicer than Barcelona, but as with Barcelona you have to venture a little outside of the city to get the nicest ones...beach is packed in Summers, and is prime for beach game and volleyball/frisbee/bat and ball fun. Foreign girls and locals alike.
The
city of arts and sciences is a huge tourist attraction and is basically the face of Valencia (see picture below), worth a visit. And always chicks there during the day.
The
University campus is good provided it's in study season, Tarongers campus (means Orange in Valenciano, as the region is famous for Oranges) plays host to a lot of fly women and you can easily grab a seat in one of the cafes and ask for Spanish grammatical help, a la Roosh. Girls galore all day around there provided it's study time.
The city itself is generally pretty safe, the only shady type area ia the area next to the beach, near Neptu metro stop and Malvarossa is more of a prostitute type area and a little bit run down, but not massively dangerous. The metro is clean, efficient and easy to use. Can get around easily on foot around the city centre, plenty to see and do for short and long stays alike. It's not as fly as it's sister city Barcelona, but Valencia has it's own charm and is worth a visit. Although to reap the rewards you have to put in the work with the locals here, so an extended stay may bare fruit.
Names and locations of nightlife:

Oh and if you're hungry after a night out, the only place I remember being open i.e. 5am onwards sorta time is a pizzeria called Da Vinci's on Avda Blasco Ibáñez opposite Rumbo 144 nightclub.
