Bathed by the River Turia, it is one of the villages within the La Serran\u00eda administrative region closest to the Camp del Turia administrative region. We can find crops typical of the latter administrative region, as well as those typical of La Serran\u00eda. It has a milder climate, above all in winter, with less pronounced temperatures. The municipality is of Muslim origin, although there are abundant remains of Neolithic and Iberians settlements. In fact, there is evidence of Iberian, Roman and, after the 7th century, Muslim settlements","galeria-poblacion":[53184,53189,53194,53199,53204,53209,53214,53219,53224,53229,53234,53239,53244,53249],"descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nThe rich local cuisine is characterised by filling, tasty dishes that are especially appreciated in winter. The most typical dish of La Serrania is \u201cOlla\u201d (stew). The version prepared in Pedralba is made with lamb, pork, sausages, beans, potatoes and thistles. Other dishes include \u201cshepherd\u2019s meat\u201d (stewed pig\u2019s head served with a spicy sauce and chopped almonds.), \u201ccoques con tajas\u201d (cakes with pieces of bacon and sausage), and homemade sausages.

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nThe municipality includes an 18th-century church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, with a baroque door and neoclassical fa\u00e7ade, and the Hermitage of Our Lady of Luj\u00e1n (patron saint of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay). A visit to Calle Acequia is a must, as is a stroll through the village\u2019s other streets, which contain notable examples of popular architecture. The fountain in Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n follows the architectural models of the 19th\/20th centuries. The municipality\u2019s natural sites of beauty include \u201cLa Playeta\u201d, a recreational area through which the River T\u00faria runs, and the bridge and dam of Pedralba, which is surrounded by rich, lush vegetation.\r\n\r\nThe village of Pedralba is an enclave in which it is still possible to breathe tranquillity in our developing area without having to travel to the mountains of La Serrania. The village lies only 35-40 minutes from the city of Valencia. Interesting sites for visitors include:\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Church\r\n<\/strong>Very characteristic Valencian Baroque style\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Calle de la escalera\r\n<\/strong>A point from which the visitor can appreciate the village\u2019s past, including the\u00a0remains of the castle<\/strong>, which are now integrated into the architecture\r\n\r\nHermitage of Luj\u00e1\r\n<\/strong>Vegetable plots in the river\r\n<\/strong>\u00a0El Pont\u00f3n\r\n<\/strong>Three parks<\/strong>\u00a0(\u201cla trilladora\u201d, \u201clos olivos\u201d, and \u201cBosmie L\u2019Aguille\u201d)\r\nLa Pe\u00f1a Latr\u00f3n Trail<\/strong>\r\n\r\nStarting from the ascent to the Hermitage of Our Lady of Lujan, the trail leads us first to \u201cLa Fuente de la Canaleta\u201d, and then to the dam, where we can enjoy a magnificent view of the River Turia (latitude: 39\u00b0 35\u2032 58.37\u2033 N longitude: 0\u00b0 42\u2032 48.68\u2033 W). By continuing along a very narrow track we come to a ravine in which we can observe one of the canal\u2019s old sluice gates. After crowning \u201cEl Pico de la Pe\u00f1a Latr\u00f3n\u201d, we descend to cross the river on some rocks and observe \u201cEl Nido del \u00c1guila\u201d from above (latitude: 39\u00b0 36\u2032 4.96\u2033 N longitude: 0\u00b0 41\u2032 27.82\u2033 W).\r\n\r\nFollowing the \u201cBarranco de la Pedrera\u201d, rich in vegetation, we arrive at the cave of the same name. We reach the end of our route at the Hermitage of Our lady of Luj\u00e1n, which exudes peace and tranquillity and where we can refresh ourselves in the \u201cFuente del Parque\u201d spring, which offers a beautiful viewpoint over the River Turia.\r\n\r\nAnother interesting, circular route starts from the bridge near the bar. It crosses the Chiva Ravine in the direction of El Pont\u00f3n, from where we take the Llano de Blay path, which leads to the Colomera cave, an open chasm (latitude 39\u00b0 36\u2032 13.90\u201d N, longitude 0\u00b0 45\u201922.56\u2033 W), and the Merinel cave (latitude 39\u00ba 36\u2032 11.53\u201d N, longitude 0\u00b0 45\u2019 32.35\u2019\u2019 W). We then return to the village by \u201cEl Azud\u201d, reaching \u201cEl Pont\u00f3n\u201d and crossing the river. For anyone wishing to visit these caves, we advise informing a caving association in order to avoid any unnecessary risks.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nPATRON SAINT FESTIVITIES\r\n<\/strong>The most important festivities are dedicated to Saint Anthony, the patron saint of Pedralba, which are held on 17th January. The festivities last one week. The most notable events are: the blessing of animals, High Mass, processions, fireworks, \u201cbous al carrer\u201d (bull-running) in the square, and street dance with live music in the multipurpose facilities. The acts which take place during these dates include: on the eve of festivities of Saint Anthony, a large bonfire is built in the village square, and the villagers dine on sandwiches and wine. Formerly, the bonfires were lit by the villagers in the doorways of their homes and children jumped over them using canes as poles.\r\n\r\nSUMMER FESTIVITIES\r\n<\/strong>The Summer Festival is held during the first week of August. It has a more casual air than the main festivities of January. The festivities were originally known as the Musical Festival. Over time, other acts were added until the festivities became as we know them today. There is bull-running in Calle de la Acequia and in the square, \u201ctoros embolados\u201d (in which a bull has balls of flammable material attached to its horns) in the square, street dances in the multi-use space, cultural acts, live music concerts and sports events.\r\n\r\nCARNIVAL\r\n<\/strong>Once highly popular in Pedralba, the Carnival festivities are once again gaining importance. Recent years have seen a large group of young people working to increase participation in the festivity and to revive its creativity.","color":"#1b889b","fiestas":null,"gastronomia":null,"mas_informacion":null,"turist-info":[{"nombre_oficina":"Tourist Info Chulilla","datos_oficina":"Calle de las Eras, s\/n C.P: 46167 Chulilla\r\nPhone: 961657979\r\nFax: 961657979\r\nMail: chulilla@touristinfo.net\r\nWeb: http:\/\/www.chulilla.com\r\nOpening Hours:\r\nX to F from 09:00 to 14:00.
