Carcaixent

Carcaixent claims to be the birthplace of commercial orange cultivation in Europe — the first organized orange groves were planted here in the 18th century. The surrounding landscape of citrus orchards stretching to the horizon gives you an idea of how thoroughly this one crop has shaped the region.

The town has basic services. The walking through this part of Valencia province is flat and easy, through endless citrus groves and rice paddies.
