València, Part 2

Where was I? Ah, yes. Strolling semi-aimlessly around València, Spain’s old city center. But València didn’t make my list of 18 potential new homes purely for its Old-World ambience. One modern feature of the city that appealed immediately to me is the Jardin del Turia, a long, narrow greenbelt running through the center of València.
