Valencia

Valencia's flat coastal terrain and the Turia Gardens—a 9km linear park running through the city centre—make it perfect for easy, uninterrupted running and cycling. The Gran Fondo Internacional Marcha Ciudad València, a 190km Gran Fondo, showcases the region's cycling credentials; inland rides venture into the hills around Bétera and Alginet (150–300m elevation), while the coast stays pancake-flat. Runners dominate the Turia year-round, but serious distance cyclists treat the orange-growing interior—Gilet, Carlet, Bétera—as their playground for longer intervals and climbs.
