Metroji clue #8

Valencia in five emoji

Spain

Spain's third city, and the one with the strongest claim on a dish everyone else has borrowed. Its old riverbed is now a park running through the middle.

What each emoji refers to

Paella is Valencian, and the original has rabbit and beans rather than seafood.
The Mediterranean, with a working port and a city beach.
Las Fallas ends in March by burning enormous sculptures in the streets.
Valencia CF play at the Mestalla, one of the steepest stands in Spain.
The City of Arts and Sciences sits in the drained riverbed.
