Valencia's Mercado Central is a covered food market designed by Alexandre Soler March and Francesc Guàrdia and built between 1914 and 1928 in Valencian Art Nouveau style. Under its iron-framed domes and tiled walls, more than 8,000 m² of floor hold stalls selling fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and local produce. It faces the Lonja de la Seda.

The Turia Gardens are a public park of about 136 hectares laid out from 1986 in the former bed of the Turia River, which was diverted south of Valencia after a flood. Around 8.5 km long, the park has paths, cycle lanes, sports grounds, fountains and playgrounds under the old bridges, and runs from Bioparc to the City of Arts and Sciences.
