Its location in a transition zone between the plain and the mountains gives rise to a quite hilly terrain. More than half the territory is occupied by mountains. Despite the expansion of industrial activity, agriculture remains the main source of income.","galeria-poblacion":[73329,73330],"descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nAs in the rest of the administrative region to which the town belongs, rice holds pride of place in the local cuisine. Among the wide variety of dishes on offer, mention may be made of paella, \u201carr\u00f2s fesols i amb naps\u201d (rice with beans and turnip) and, of course, \u201carr\u00f3s a banda\u201d (rice with fish stock). Other typical local food includes cured sausages, beef, pork and, in season, rice from l\u2019Albufera lake. Mention may be made of the local roasts, hams and cheeses produced in Vilamarxant. Sweets include nougat, doughnuts and sugared almonds. At Easter we find the traditional delicacy known as \u201cMona de Pascua\u201d.\r\n

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nThe surroundings of this mountainous municipality include interesting natural sites such as the \u201cPe\u00f1a de l\u2019Atron\u201d, \u201cla Teulada\u201d and \u201cLes Rodanes\u201d natural park, which is crossed by the PR-V 175 trail. In architectural terms, mention may be made of the Torre de Pedralba, of Arab origin, which was part of a castle, the ruins of which are apparently mixed with existing houses. The ruins and remnants indicate that it was an \u201cAlbacar\u201d type construction with a wall and inner tower (the only surviving element). The remains of rustic Villa denote the town\u2019s Roman origins.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nThe main festivities are held on 29th and 30th August in honour of St. Catherine and the Christ of Salvation, during which religious acts (masses, processions, \u2026), sporting events and recreational events such as street dances, bull-running, etc., are held.","color":"#1b889b","fiestas":null,"gastronomia":null,"mas_informacion":null,"turist-info":[{"nombre_oficina":"Tourist Info Camp de T\u00faria","datos_oficina":"Pla de l\u2019Arc, s\/n.
