Valencia

Valencia combines a Mediterranean shoreline with a dense historic centre in a way that reflects its position on Spain’s eastern coast. The Turia River was diverted after the devastating flood of 1957, and its former riverbed is now the long Jardín del Turia, a public park crossing much of the city. In the old quarter, the late-15th-century Silk Exchange, or Lonja de la Seda, recalls Valencia’s importance in the Mediterranean silk trade and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. South of the city, Albufera Natural Park’s lagoon and rice fields are closely tied to Valencian cooking, including paella.
