Miradors de l’Horta

Huerta de Valencia
Free event
The Huerta Design and Culture Festival is a unique opportunity to get to know closely the “huerta” world.
To begin with, you are all invited to explore its most emblematic places by bicycle.
In fact, the festival encourages us to participate in a sustainable way by making available to the visitors a route plan through the vegetable garden (Ciclorutas). The suggested route starts from the Alfafara del Patriarca Town Hall and passes along the roads of Vinales, Almassera and the Roca-Cuper neighborhood.
In all these stages it will be possible to see the ephemeral installations. That is, 3 artistic installations designed by Valencian designers in order to transmit the spirit of this area and its people.
And if you don’t have a bike, do not worry! In this link you can book one.
And what else can you do during this pleasant excursion?
For example, a lot of workshops. Among them, the garden, photo, dance and Valencian pilota workshops.
To rest, there will be musical performances and to recover strength you can always eat in the restaurants of this area and try their special dishes prepared on the occasion of the Festival.
Finally, do not forget to stop by the producers market, on Sunday 22nd, from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm. in Alquería de Roca! A perfect occasion to take home a good basket of local and seasonal products at Km0.
