What to see by foot: Valencia

Valencia is very compact and many of its attractions are within walking distance
of each other, making it a very manageable city for the pedestrian visitor.
Not many cities are capable of so harmoniously combining a fine array of sights
from the distant past with innovative, avant-garde constructions now being erected
to mark the start of a new millennium. Valencia, dating back to 138 BC, is one
of these fortunate few.
Taking a stroll round Valencia allows you to sense the power of many centuries
of history. Stone towers and sturdy buildings speak to us from the past. From
the remains of the Roman forum founded by Junius Brutus located in today's Plaza
de la Virgen - part of the Roman city of Valentia - to the emblematic City of
the Arts and Sciences, this town has transformed its physiognomy over the years
while preserving its monuments from the past.
The Turia River Gardens are located on the old riverbed which once ran through
the city and is now diverted to the south of Valencia. The riverbed cuts through
the town and can be followed along its course on foot or by bicycle, with a
number of sports facilities along the way. Other activities can be enjoyed here
too, such as music concerts at the Palau de la Música on the east bank
of the riverbed. And heading farther towards the sea is the large-scale project
for the new millennium, the City of the Arts and Sciences.
Valencia hosts hundreds of different festivals during the year, but if you're
visiting during March then you might be lucky enough to catch one of Spain's
biggest spring parties. The festival of Las Fallas (March 15-19) is a major
festival culminating in the burning of papier-mâché effigies satirising
famous Spanish figures, and a magnificent fireworks display.
