What to do in Torrent

If you are wondering how to get to Torrent, in Valencia, you should know that this municipality is perfectly connected through the metro network with the capital. Once there open your GPS and look for the Arab tower that, since the twelfth century, is one of the most recognizable emblems of the city.

Add to your list its 16th century church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and make sure you visit the collection of the Josep Ferrís Museum, where you can learn how people lived in the countryside in this area at the beginning of the 20th century.

If you are looking for a natural landscape to get lost, we suggest you follow the route of the Hort de Trénor, a very special garden with more than 300 plant species that is located next to the remains of an old Franciscan convent, where you can still visit a very interesting chapel.

The festivities in Torrent are another of its attractions, since in addition to the traditional “fallas”, they prepare earnestly for their large celebrations of Moors and Christians or multitudinous patron saint festivals. Particularly noteworthy is the figure of the Queen of the Meeting, protagonist of the Holy Week of Torrent, or the recovery of traditional dances of the Ball de Torrent.

Finally, in Torrent you have to try, in addition to its artisan chocolates, the Gaiato de Sant Blai, a sweet with a salty version that is the protagonist of February 3, and its rice "rossejat", with an unprecedented ingredient, the sweet ball. Go taste Torrent!
