El Cabanyal
An old fishing quarter right next to the beach. Single-story houses line its streets with colorful tiles, making it Valencia's most distinctive residential neighborhood.
El Cabanyal is a fishing community that took shape in the 19th century. Its narrow grid of streets runs parallel to the coast, and its houses are covered in colorful tiles. Its folk modernist style is unique and it is listed as a historic cultural heritage site. The district has an old market, traditional taverns and paella restaurants, and it hosts the 'Holy Week by the Sea' procession during Holy Week. You can cycle here from Malvarrosa Beach, or take the tram to Doctor Lluch stop. Some parts of the district are still being renovated. Please respect residents when taking photos.
