Quart de Poblet is a lively municipality located directly west of Valencia, having evolved into a major residential and service hub. Its name derives from the Latin 'quartum miliarium', marking the fourth milestone on the Roman road from Valencia westward. The town has a rich historical heritage dating back to Moorish times, evidenced by the impressive medieval cistern (Cisterna Medieval), an underground structure that once supplied the town with water. Another key landmark is the Hermitage of Sant Onofre. The town is first-rate for those who want to explore the metropolis of Valencia but prefer a quieter base. Thanks to several metro stations, the center of Valencia is just a few minutes away. A major advantage is its proximity to the Turia Natural Park (Parque Natural del Turia), a green lung that stretches along the river, offering good conditions for cycling, hiking, and relaxing in nature. The gastronomy reflects Valencian cuisine, with paella naturally playing a starring role. Getting there is extremely easy due to its closeness to Valencia Airport (VLC) and the excellent public transport network.
