Its municipality is 160 m above sea level, sheltered by the Serra Grossa range.\r\n\r\nIn addition to its urban centre, Canals has other centres, such as the neighbourhood of \u201cLa Torreta\u201d, and the hamlets of \u201cAiacor\u201d and \u201cLa Torre dels Frares\u201d.","galeria-poblacion":"","descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nTypical dishes include oven-baked rice with lean pork meatballs and stews.\r\n\r\nLocal sweets include typical cakes such as sweet potato cake, butter patties, anise rolls and \u201crosegons\u201d.\r\n

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nVarious archaeological remains identify Canals with an ancient Roman city, which was located on the Via Augusta (later to become the Castile Road).\r\n\r\nWe must not overlook a visit to\u00a0the Tower<\/strong>, the town\u2019s most emblematic symbol, and the\u00a0Oratory of the Borgias<\/strong>,\u00a0where Pope Callixtus III was born<\/em>, the parish church and Plaza de la Lloca. Canals is part of the BORGIAS ROUTE, which runs through the municipalities and towns that linked to the story of the most universal Valencian family: The Borgias.\r\n\r\nThe old part of the town has typical alleys and squares, and some fa\u00e7ades have small ceramic chapels with invocations (12th\/14th centuries).\r\n\r\nCanals also has interesting natural sites, such as \u201cles Moles\u201d, \u201cGorg de Sant Pere\u201d (both on the River Canyoles), and \u201cPicatxos\u201d.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nThe main festivities take place on 16th, 17th and 18th January in honour of Saint Anthony the Abbott. They stand out for the burning of \u201cla foguera\u201d, the largest bonfire in the world, and for the day of \u201cels parells\u201d, during which the villagers, mounted on horseback, hand out thousands of toys in the village streets.\r\n\r\nThese festivities are very interesting for tourists due to the bonfires and \u201cparells\u201d.\r\n\r\nDuring the second weekend of September, a fair is held in honour of the Holy Christ of Health. These festivities include paella, bull-running, the \u201cYouth Zone\u201d and a fancy-dress party.","color":"#1b889b","fiestas":null,"gastronomia":null,"mas_informacion":null,"turist-info":[{"nombre_oficina":"Tourist Info X\u00e0tiva","datos_oficina":"Tourist Info X\u00e0tiva Alameda Jaume I, 50.\r\n46800 X\u00e0tiva\r\nTel. 962273346\r\nEmail: xativa@touristinfo.net<\/a>"}],"turist-info_rel":75604,"descargables":null,"localizacion_mapa":"
