You clip into the pedal behind the Torres de Serranos and the old city exhales around you — stone gate, narrow alleys, a guide who knows where the quiet lanes hide. The ride slips into the dry riverbed that has become Jardín del Turia, a green spine where cyclists pass orange groves, playgrounds and sculpted bridges. Ahead, the City of Arts and Sciences rises like a futuristic coastline, white curves and glass reflecting the Mediterranean light that will greet you again at the port.
