The European Grand Prix will run around the streets of Valencia, a city located in the middle of Spain’s eastern coast. It is the capital city of its province and is the fifteenth largest in Europe. There are numerous beaches not far from the business district which make it a very popular destination for sun seeking holidayers. Valencia changed dramatically in 1957 when the Turia River broke its banks and the subsequent flood waters wreaked havoc. The local Government decided to re-route the river away from the city centre and turn the expansive riverbed into parkland. Valencia has been a key part of Spanish history and there are many cultural festivals as a result. The area is largely industrial thanks to its port and is crucial to European trade. The Grand Prix circuit runs through one such industrial area and some parkland, just between the seafront and the metropolitan district.
