You push off from a narrow Calle and the city opens around you — tile facades, cathedral bells, and the riverbed-turned-park moving like a green artery through the center.

History
Valencia’s wealth in the late medieval period is visible in La Lonja de la Seda, a 15th-century silk exchange; the city later reshaped the Turia riverbed into the green corridor after the catastrophic 1957 flood.
Conservation
The Turia Garden is a prime example of adaptive reuse in urban planning; practice low-impact tourism by staying on paths and avoiding litter in markets and parks.
