Campanar Valencia – The essence of a small traditional town
Not as well-known as other neighbourhoods in Valencia, Campanar is a popular neighbourhood that has two faces, one with modern buildings and establishments and the other where the old village of Campanar, independent until it was annexed to the city in 1897, remains hidden from strangers.
Traditionally surrounded by orchards that have decreased in size due to the urban expansion, it is located northeast of the city, crossing the old bed of the Turia River. Easily connected by metro (Campanar stop) and bus (lines 92 and 94, among others), you can explore it by entering streets such as Mossen Rausell or Mestre Bagant, leaving behind the tall buildings, and reaching its emblematic Church Square, the heart of Campanar. There you will feel that you have crossed the time barrier and have traveled in time to a place with pedestrian streets delimited by beautiful two-story houses of modernist architecture.
Life here seems to stop and go at a different pace: you will see children playing and neighbours chattering outside the traditional bakery, the Forn de Manuela, established in 1866, where you can taste freshly baked bread and all kinds of traditional sweets. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a famous “esmorzar” (kind of local brunch) in the modern bar “El Carrer”, in the same Plaça de l' Església, which has become a place of pilgrimage for foodies of all ages.
