From the African savannah through the Turia Gardens
The deviation of the Turia river that crossed the ancient city has given way to a huge garden, a real green lung passing through Valencia and connecting two of the major attractions of the city: the Valencia Biopark and the City of Arts and Sciences.
In the more than eight kilometers of the Turia Gardens you can ride a bike, walk or do some exercise on a path that begins at the Cabecera Park and is surrounded by monuments and museums on both sides of the route, as well as bridges of different styles and eras. An ideal place to be in peace and quiet while watching all of its wild animals.
