    This immense garden was created in the old bed of the Turia river, which was diverted to avoid the constant flooding that the city suffered. After the great flood of October 14, 1957 that destroyed the city, the bed of the Turia was diverted to the south of Valencia, leaving a significant strip of land that crosses the city from east to west and surrounds the historic center. When the gardens were opened in 1986, several urban planners and landscape architects designed the different stretches of the riverbed, imitating the former landscape of the river and creating a unique course planted and equipped with palm and orange trees, fountains and pine trees, aromatic plants and ponds, sports fields and rose gardens.

      The Jardín del Turia (German Garden of the Turia, sometimes also referred to in the plural as Jardines del Turia) is a park in the Spanish port city of Valencia.

      It was created in the 1980s on the old river bed of the Rio Turia, after it was diverted after the Great Valencia Flood of the 1960s.

        Icon of the city and one of the largest municipal parks in Spain that can be explored on foot, running or by bicycle and has several recreation areas open to the public.
        Along the route, 18 bridges of diverse architecture and historical interest are crossed, as well as monuments and places of interest.
        The park was created after the devastating flood of October 1957 that led to divert the river from its original path, leaving free space to create this beautiful and picturesque green lung within the urban area that was inaugurated in 1986.

          The Jardín del Turia park is one of Spain's largest municipal parks, a green oasis of more than nine kilometers, which crosses the city and houses play and sports fields and romantic corners where you can lose yourself. From Cabecera Park to the City of Arts and Sciences, Jardines del Turia Park is the ideal place for joggers, cyclists, families and nature lovers.

          Crowned by 18 bridges, centuries-old traces of history, the former riverbed on both banks borders some of the city's most important museums and monuments. This huge garden rises on the former river bed of the Turia, which has been diverted to avoid the continuous flooding of the city. After the great flood of October 14, 1957, which devastated the city, the riverbed was diverted to the south of Valencia, clearing significant terrain that traversed the city from west to east and encircled the historic center. Inaugurated in 1986, various urban designers and landscape designers designed the various sections of the riverbed, reproduced the former river landscape and created a unique space with palm trees and orange trees, fountains and pines, aromatic plants and ponds, sports fields and rose bushes.

            The old riverbed has been turned into a park strip surrounding quite a part of the old centre. Great area to walk away from the traffic and home to several playgrounds and sports facilites.

              Beautifully landscaped green oasis in the middle of Valencia.

                The park is longer than initially thought. Really tiring to walk. But very manageable by bike.

                  Gorgeous garden area and well worth a look around.

                    Nice walk through the former riverbed with many good places for a rest, here and there nice gardens and many sports facilities. Walking under the bridges is really impressive.
                      You can go for a wonderful walk in the park. There are separate lanes for cyclists and athletes. The park is accessible in many places, so you can take a short break from your stroll through the city and relax a bit. The signs point out the nearby sights. There are many playgrounds, benches and sports facilities, as well as water points and public toilets.
