What to expect
Our tour starts on Pont dels Serrans in Turia Gardens. You'll hear some of the early history of Valencia while you walk.
La Saïdia
The history of Valencia is a story about the relationship between a city and its river. Its first Roman settlement was built on an island in the Turia River in 138 BC. The settlement grew, influenced by the river until 1957 when, after a catastrophic flood, it was decided that the torrent should be diverted. On this walking tour, you’ll wade through 2,000 years of history that developed alongside the river.
