The village is situated at the foot of \u201cPicaio de la Seca\u201d and \u201cPicaio de la Punta\u201d, and on the right bank of the River Palancia. Its main economic activity is agriculture, with a predominance of dryland crops (carob, olive and almond trees and vines) over irrigated crops (oranges and vegetables).","galeria-poblacion":"","descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nPaella is the village\u2019s main dish, although during the local festivities traditional \u201ccalderas\u201d (stews) are cooked. Baked foods, especially popular during the festivities, include pastry slices with sardines, tomato cakes, \u201cpan quemado\u201d (brioche), and a wide variety of pastry slices with sweet and savoury toppings.\r\n

Places of interest:<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\u201cOjos Negros\u201d Rail Trail\r\n\r\nThe \u201cV\u00edas Verdes\u201d (Greenways), created through the recovery of old railway lines, guarantee the accessibility and universality for all users, without limitations of age or physical ability, in conjunction with the safety afforded by routes that are free of motor vehicles. They represent, therefore, an ideal tool with which to promote a new culture of leisure and outdoor sports within our society.\r\n\r\nAlong the 70km \u201cOjos Negro\u201ds Greenway, which runs perpendicular to the Mediterranean whilst climbing in the direction of Aragon, excursionists can observe the changes in the natural and rural landscape that surrounds the route.\r\n\r\nThe land which is still cultivated offers changing views as it ascends from the orange groves of the village, through olive, almond and carob trees, to the pastures and cereal fields around the village of Barracas.\r\n\r\nThe wild vegetation also changes radically, from areas of white pine, mastic and other Mediterranean vegetation, to the masses of Holm oaks, small oaks, junipers and pines fitting to more continental climates.\r\n\r\nThe route travels through open areas, trenches, tunnels and viaducts, surrounded by a mosaic of cultivated land, wild fields, forests and barren areas, immersing excursionists in a superb natural environment.\r\n\r\nThe trail\u2019s surroundings, together with its surface and drainage, the lighting in its tunnels, the railings offering protection along its most dangerous stretches, the absence of vehicles, its rest areas located each 6km, the reforestation that has been carried out along the route and the accompanying information and safety signage, make the \u201cOjos Negros\u201d Greenway an opportunity to visit the regions of Campo de Morvedre and Alto Palencia that cannot be missed.\r\n\r\nFurther information:\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.algimiadealfara.es\/<\/a>\r\n
