What is la Vall?

“La Vall d’Albaida” is a natural and historical region which is located in the Valencian Community. Geographically, it borders on the main regions such as “La Costera” and “La Safor” in the province of Valencia, and “L’Alcoià”, “El Comtat” and “L’Alt Vinalopó” in the province of Alicante.

La Vall has a Mediterranean climate.

Thirty-four towns make up this region, which has 85 000 inhabitants. Ontinyent, the region’s capital, has a population of more than 33 000.

This is one of the most industrialized regions, with an important textile tradition, although the farming and ranching activities are also remarkable. Moreover, service sector is increasingly growing.

Regarding communications, we can access to the north of La Vall d’Albaida through the CV-40 (regional road), which comes from the N-340 (dual carriageway) and goes past Aielo de Malferit, Ontinyent, Agullent and Benissoda. This regional road converges with the N-340 again on the way to Alcoi. The CV-60 (regional road) comes from the CV-40 and takes us to Montaverner, Montixelvo and subsequently to the nearby region of La Safor.

A wide network of regional roads links all the towns of the Vall d’Albaida region. The N-340 runs parallel to the CV-40, going past the towns of Bellús, Guadasséquies, Alfarrasí, Montaverner, El Palomar, Albaida and subsequently Alcoi. The railway line Valencia-Alcoi has different stations and stops throughout the region, and the station of Ontinyent is in the west. The regular bus lines Valencia-Villena and Valencia-Alcoi cover almost all the towns of the region.

The splendid and wide offer of gastronomy, natural resources, artistic elements and cultural heritage, together with the sports or adventure activities, will make tourists enjoy their visit to these lands.
