What you'll see
A long green park sunk in a dry riverbed around the old town, with running and cycle paths, orange and palm trees, football pitches and old stone bridges overhead; it runs down to the City of Arts and Sciences.
A brief history
After a deadly flood in 1957 the river was moved south of the city. Plans to build a motorway in the old bed were dropped after locals campaigned for a park instead.
