Picanya

• The forest with names of its own: in its parks, each tree has a ceramic plaque bearing the name and date of birth of a child from the town. A truly fascinating and unique stroll.
• The mecca of the esmorzaret: the culture of the Valencian midday snack is experienced to the fullest here. The must-try ritual: a giant sandwich (like the “Chivito”), peanuts, olives, and—without fail—a Cremaet (coffee with flambéed rum, cinnamon, and lemon) to finish.
• Paella cooked over orange wood fire: thanks to its location in the heart of the orchards, it’s the ideal spot to try traditional paella (made with chicken and rabbit, no seafood) cooked over a wood fire and eaten straight from the pan with a wooden spoon.
• From the orchards to the sea without cars: its network of bike paths connects to the Anella Verda, allowing you to cycle through orange groves to downtown Valencia or the beach on a completely flat and safe route.
• Land of medieval knights: Hidden beneath its streets lie the origins of an ancient Muslim farmstead that, in the 13th century, came under the rule of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller.
