This is episode 4 of the podcast Excuse my English by @enrique_llorens, published on March 25, 2026. You can leave text and audio comments at this link.

In 1957, the river Turia, which crosses Valencia, my town, flooded out and killed more than 300 people and destroyed thousands of houses. Because of that, the authorities of that time decided to create a new riverbed out of the city and change the course of the river. For this reason, the old Turia river that crossed Valencia became an incredible urban park, one of the wonders of the city where I live. and my favourite running field. The cover of today's podcast is a photo taken by me just 10 minutes ago, where you can see the marvellous place where I have been running this morning. Have a happy spring day and remember you can correct me in the comments. Everybody's help is much appreciated. Bye!
