This wonderful place has two sides to it, the traditional stand-up tapas bar where the old wine bodega still has all its barrels, or the more upmarket sit-down side at the back, great traditional. Try the fried anchovies, habas, stuffed bell peppers

This 5 km long park was built in the old river bed of the Turia river, which was diverted around valencia in the 70's. This strip of exuberance definitely is the green backbone to the city. The "city of arts and science" at one end, and the "eco park" zoo at the other it has many sections, from sport fields to forest secluded areas. Big for family use.
