CARCAIXENT, BIRTHPLACE OF THE ORANGE
In 1781 the first orange grove was planted in Carcaixent, and it was a success. The weather conditions in the area were excellent, so the oranges obtained in that year were of great quality, size and flavour. The marketing of oranges both nationally and internationally led to great economic growth in the region of La Ribera.
AN ORANGE ORCHARD OF 1870
An original plan in Valencia is to visit a century-old orchard belonging to several generations of the same family in Carcaixent, the birthplace of the orange. A one-day proposal in which you can stroll among fruit trees, taste local produce and enjoy the history of the place.
