The Valencian Orchard (La Huerta)
The great garden surrounding Valencia that breathes life into its most authentic gastronomy.
The true secret of Valencian cuisine
The Valencia Orchard (l’Horta) is a unique landscape where tradition, culture, and nature coexist just minutes from the city. A mosaic of cultivated fields, millennial irrigation channels, "barracas," and farmhouse estates ("alquerías") that supply markets and restaurants with fresh, zero-kilometer produce. Declared a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System, it is the birthplace of paella and the soul of Valencian gastronomy.
