Photo spot in Valencia

The Turia gardens

A nine-kilometre park laid out in a drained riverbed, running under the old bridges through the middle of the city.

About The Turia gardens

After the 1957 flood Valencia moved its river and turned the empty bed into a park that curves right through the city. The result is nine kilometres of gardens, orange trees, palms and lawns, sunk below street level and crossed by the old stone bridges.

Being sunk is what makes it useful. The banks and the bridges cut the low sun, so there is usable shade through the middle of the day, and the bridge arches give you a built frame at regular intervals.

It is also flat, wide and traffic-free for its whole length, which makes it the easiest location in this catalogue for families with small children or anyone who does not want to climb anything.

Best time to shoot

Any hour — the banks and bridges give shade when the streets do not

Tips

Nine kilometres is too much to walk in a session — pick one stretch. The section between the Palau de la Música and the City of Arts links the two most useful locations in Valencia on foot.

We met Martino at my brother's wedding and, when it was my turn, I had no doubt at all: it had to be him. My husband doesn't like anything artificial or forced poses at all, and with Martino we knew from the very first moment that we'd be…

We couldn't be more grateful to Lorena. We went to the session very nervous and from the first minute she made us feel calm, at ease and completely comfortable. She has a special sensitivity for capturing the essence of each moment, and it…

White curved shells and shallow reflecting pools — the most futuristic backdrop in Spain, and it doubles everything.
