El Cabanyal is a historic neighbourhood with a seafaring essence, where the old fishermen’s houses, colorful and unique, contrast with a vibrant cultural life. Art, tradition and a bohemian atmosphere await you in this unique place.

Sea air, colours, Street Art and much more in the Cabanyal neighbourhood

Among the most notable places of interest in Valencia is the picturesque Cabanyal neighbourhood, a place with a seafaring essence and a symbol of a united community with a very strong identity.

It is located next to the Arenas de Valencia beach and is considered one of the most authentic neighbourhoods for its narrow streets, houses full of tiles and colours and seafood cuisine. In its day it was a humble fishing neighbourhood and today it is the trendy neighbourhood, positioning itself as a cultural reference that attracts artists, artisans and visitors from all over the world. Walking through its streets is like taking a trip to the past: traditional markets, tapas bars with local products and important festivities such as Semana Santa Marinera give it a unique touch that no other neighbourhood has.

An ideal day in Valencia would be to go for a walk and eat in the Cabanyal neighbourhood, and then spend the afternoon on the beach. Write it down on the places you have to visit no matter what!
