This area is ideal for those who are looking for a quiet place to live at an affordable price. It is located on the outskirts of the city, but all the necessary amenities are available – bus service, roads, as well as football fields for outdoor activities.
Horno de Alcedo: The name of the quarter comes from a large bakery that stood on a farm estate in the area. King Chaim I granted the territory to several knights for their help in expelling the Moors. These knights, together with the abbots, began the agricultural exploitation of the local lands. In 1877, the quarter became part of Valencia. Now the area is built up with housing, and the railway is an important enterprise. The main income of the quarter comes from railway activities, furniture production and agriculture. In the quarter there is the church of Iglesia del Santísimo Cristo de la Agonía, built in 1914.
Castellar-Oliveral: The name of the quarter comes from the fact that King Chaim I gave the area to the valiant knights who helped in the fight against the Moors. After unsuccessful attempts by other knights, the artificially arrived knights took the districts under their patronage. The area is replete with classic Spanish houses, and the main economy of the quarter is agriculture. Of the attractions, it is worth noting the church built in 1862 and the celebration of Youth Day in mid-September.
Pinedo: The quarter is known for its orchards, rice fields and the beautiful sea. In the mid-1970s, various entertainment venues began to appear on the coast. There is a large cross on the embankment, and horse races are held on the beach at the end of August. The transport infrastructure includes a highway leading to the El Saler quarter.
El Saler: The quarter got its name from the former salt mining, which served as the basis of its economy. King Chaim I privatized salt mining and set a price for it. In the 1960s, it was planned to turn the quarter into a tourist paradise with a racetrack, airport and other facilities, but residents protested. There is a Church of St. Jose in the quarter, built in 1926.
