Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nThe most notable local dishes are paella and \u201carr\u00f2s fesols i amb naps\u201d (rice with beans and turnips). Other popular dishes include Valencian salad and the classic \u201cesgarraet\u201d (pepper, garlic, oil and cod). Finally, mention may be made of one of the most popular rice-based dishes; \u201carr\u00f2s negre\u201d (rice with squid\u2019s ink).\r\n

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\n\u201cLos Silos<\/strong>\u201d, dating from 16th century and which were used for storing grain, are without doubt the village\u2019s main attraction. Their purpose was to preserve the grain in good condition over a long time, even decades. Specifically, they were used to store wheat, which could be kept for long periods without losing its properties. In order for the storage to be effective, the silos needed to be hermetically sealed.\r\n\r\nThe\u00a018th century Palace of Saint John of Ribera<\/strong>\u00a0has its origins in medieval times, when it was constructed as a location in which to rest and was fitted out as a residential palace. Juan de Rivera ceded it to the Royal College of Corpus Christi and, in the late 19th century, it was auctioned as part of the Ecclesiastical confiscations of Mendiz\u00e1bal. The Church of Saint Michael (18th century), the Culture Centre and the Town Hall (1915), are Burjassot\u2019s main tourist attractions. The University of Valencia\u2019s Science Campus are located here, as are the facilities of Radiotelevisi\u00f3 Valenciana.\r\n\r\nBirthplace of the famous Valencian poet Vicent Andr\u00e9s Estell\u00e9s.One of the municipality\u2019s most noted routes is \u201cRuta d\u2019Estell\u00e9s\u201d, which takes in some of the village\u2019s main streets. It includes ceramic panels with some of Estell\u00e9s\u2019 verses.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nThe main festivities are held from 15th to 16th August in honour of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint Roche. Events include bull-running, cooking contests, etc. Other notable festivities include the 9th October (Valencia Region Day) celebrations, which include the preparation of a large quantity of the typical dish \u201carr\u00f3s amb fesols i naps\u201d (rice with beans and turnips), and those held in honour of Our Lady of Cabeza on 30th September. The traditional \u201cFallas\u201d festivities are held from 14th to 19th March. They are very popular among the locals, despite being held outside the village centre.","color":"#9b861b","fiestas":null,"gastronomia":null,"mas_informacion":null,"turist-info":[{"nombre_oficina":"Tourist Info Burjassot","datos_oficina":"963160500 (Ayuntamiento)"}],"turist-info_rel":null,"descargables":null,"localizacion_mapa":"
