Description

The Jardín del Turia is one of the largest natural urban parks in Spain. A green walkable zone of more than 9 kilometers that crosses the city with areas for sports and romantic corners in which to get lost. From Cabecera Park to the City of Arts and Sciences, the Turia Garden is an ideal trail for runners, cyclists, families and nature lovers. Crowned by 18 bridges, imprints of centuries of history, the old bed borders on both banks with some of the city's most important museums and monuments. Among the birds you can encounter in the area are Keşiş Papağanı, Yeşil papağan, İbibik, Maskeli Ötleğen, Küçük iskete, Karabaşlı iskete, Gümüş martı, Kara Sığırcık and Kaya kırlangıcı.
