- Experience the animated Fallas festival in March; Paiporta celebrates it passionately with impressive monuments and firecrackers.

Paiporta is a municipality in the comarca of Horta Sud in the Valencian Community, located just a few kilometers southwest of Valencia. This proximity makes it a good residential town and a quiet base for exploring the region. The town retains the character of a traditional Valencian village, with sights like the 18th-century Church of Sant Jordi and the Museum of Ethnological Ceramics. The local gastronomy reflects Valencian tradition, with paella as a star dish. A notable feature is the Barranc de Xiva, a ravine that crosses the town and serves as a green space and recreational area. Getting there is very easy thanks to the metro lines that directly connect Paiporta to the center of Valencia. The best time to visit is during the local festivities, such as the festival in honor of Sant Roc in August, or in spring to enjoy the pleasant climate.
