Traditional house in El Cabanyal

Poblats Marítims: Location and surroundings of this property

Valencian history goes hand in hand with the history of this maritime neighborhood. Cabanyal-Canyamelar became an independent municipality in the 19th century, under the name of Pueblo Nuevo del Mar. Still today it is a fishermen's neighborhood, the protagonist of the most traditional scenes, where life has a different rhythm. Its architectural value is immeasurable. In the Cabanyal there are huts, fishermen's houses, tiled facades, colorful buildings and modernist structures. From the Lonja de Pescadores to the Grao Market; passing through the houses in the streets of Sant Pere, La Reina or Escalant; and even the area of Progrés and Amparo Guillem. The particular floor plan of its buildings and the layout of its urban planning (the alleys are almost a labyrinth) are also responsible for a social climate and a very authentic lifestyle, almost extinct in large metropolises. In recent times, moreover, a different feeling is spreading through its streets. The new generations have turned their eyes towards the beach area, not only to understand its value, but also to enrich it through cultural proposals. As has happened with other neighborhoods around the world, the bohemian feeling has driven a renaissance. The area already has a network involving art collectives and theater companies with numerous projects underway. A neighborhood with an enormous history and an unbeatable projection.
