You leave the high-rises of Benidorm behind and the coast opens into orchards: orange trees press their scent against the windows as the road heads west toward Valencia. The first sight of the old Turia riverbed, transformed into a long green park, signals a city that moves at the scale of light and stone — modern museums rubbing shoulders with medieval gates.
