Valencia to Tortosa

Breakfast

This morning before leaving Valencia we found a place for breakfast then went for a walk.

Plaza de la Virgin

Valencia has a big and beautiful garden that follows the former path of the river. The river was rerouted and the 9 mile long garden was created after a terrible flood in 1957. We walked through the park and enjoyed the beautiful day.

The old bridges are still there even though the river isn’t.

About noon we packed up and drove two hours to Tortosa. We had a great dinner at the Parador.
