Mostly petanca on the gravel courts in the riverbed most afternoons, watched from the benches, with walkers keeping to the dirt track and bikes and runners to the paved lane.
Cyclingright-bank path of the Túria riverbed along the Campanar stretch, between the Nou d'Octubre bridge and Capçalera
There are two parallel lanes here and locals treat the split as law: the packed dirt track under the trees on the bank side is for walkers, prams and dog leads, the paved centre is bikes and runners at speed. Stroll down the middle and you'll get bells and words.

Informal sportpetanca courts in the Túria riverbed on the Campanar side, near the Nou d'Octubre bridge
The gravel petanca strips down in the riverbed are held by the same older men most afternoons, with an audience on the benches behind that's bigger than the number of players. Turning up as a stranger you play only if someone waves you in.
