Description

Time ago, this was the bed of the river Turia, also called Guadalaviar. From time to time, this river, usually nearly dry, rised out of it and inundated Valencia. Last flooding was in 1958. To avoid it, the course of the river was changed and its old bed converted in a garden.

Si que es soberbio este jard, hay cantidad de arboles, caminos y zonas de juegos... sobretodo recuerdo una especie de arboles que parecen de otro planeta. Magnico el punto de vista !
