The terrain is completely flat. The River J\u00facar crosses the municipality and represents its southern boundary. The weather is warm. Land ownership is very fractioned. The land\u2019s productive capacity was increased by means of drainage by aqueducts, and it was turned over completely to crop production. Irrigation is provided by means of the Royal River J\u00facar Irrigation Canal, and there are a multitude of irrigation canals distributed throughout the municipality\u2019s rice paddies. Local crops include rice, oranges and other fruits, vegetables and legumes.","galeria-poblacion":"","descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nAs in other municipalities in the Ribera Baixa administrative region, pride of place goes to the paella (in its different variants), baked rice, \u201csuc d\u2019anguiles\u201d, etc. The most typical sweets include \u201ccoques de sag\u00ed i escudellades\u201d, Easter cakes and \u201carnad\u00ed\u201d (made with pumpkin).\r\n

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nMention may be made of the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle (1701), created by master builder Gaspar Diez (Latin cross and central dome), and the Hermitage of Saint Roche.\r\n\r\nOther points of interest include the Town Hall (1644), the municipal slaughterhouse (converted into a library), the market and the bridge over the River J\u00facar (all dating from the early 20th century and fine examples of the incorporation of iron into the construction process).\r\n\r\nThere is a fountain and several sculptures, designed by Manuel Boix, in Plaza de la Cort.\r\n\r\nAlbalat de la Ribera has an abundance of sites of natural beauty: \u201cLa Marjal\u201d (wetland, located in the Albufera Natural Park), with numerous \u201cullals\u201d (underwater springs), such as \u201cMula\u201d and \u201cGros\u201d.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nRecreational and religious festivities are held from 14th to 17th August. Street dances are held in the evening. On 16th (Saint Roche\u2019s Day), a paella festival is held, and on the 17th the procession of Christ, which includes representations of Biblical characters.
