But most importantly is that everybody in Valencia (the whole region) speaks Spanish (Castillian) and that Spanish is most of the times as good as any in almost every region in the Spanish speaking world.
About Valencian, at least their signals are bilingual. When traveling to Barcelona all signals "salida" became "sortida" (luckily I knew "sortie" in French), but coming back via Valencia all signals became "eixida" and "salida", and it happens that both "eixida" and "exit" come directly from Latin, so, if you know English you can understand a signal in Valencian. Maybe all written languages look alike, what allows the miracle of we being able to read a little in an unknown language departing from another language almost unknown to us.
