Turia River and City of Arts and Sciences: surprising architecture

A unique visit through the Turia river, an old channel that is currently the main park that embraces all of Valencia.

After discovering this wonderful park we will get to The City of Arts and Sciences, a site within which a walk is made describing each of its buildings, with time to take photos and stop to contemplate.

The starting point is halfway up the Puente del Mar (pedestrian stone bridge that crosses the Turia river (on top of the bridge)).

Hi! My name is Nicolas! I am an architect and have been living in Valencia for 5 years. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to live in many countries, among which are the United States, Canada, Venezuela, Chile, Mexico and my country of origin; Bolivia. I have always been passionate about the cultural diversity and history that exists in each place and one of the things I like the most is to learn about the places where I am. In addition to my architecture activities, I am a professional pianist and in my spare time I take the opportunity to discover new places or visit the ones I already know to study them more. When I go out, one of my favorite activities is to draw the landscapes that I find on my way. I love this city and it is my passion to be able to teach its wonders to travelers who pass through it.
