THE DISTRICT OF LOS SERRANOS

The distric of Los Serranos is located in the Northwestern section of the province of Valencia, on mountainous terrain that honours its name and meaning “high” Turia, and offers stark, rugged scenery with its own caind of beauty.

Extending to the north are the last spurs of the Javalambre Sierra that continues to the east after changing its name to Sierra de Andilla. To the south, the boundary of the district is marked by a succession of sierras that extend from the Negrete mountains to the Sierra de Chiva. Betweeten these are the hills known as Los Serranos, cut through by the river Turia its affluent the Tuéjar river, and other smaller streams.

This district is a fine example of a land dominated by Mediterranean mountains from the Iberian System. The natural habitat varies greatly due to its complex geography, ranging from two hundred metres in altitude on the eastern side to one thousand six hundred at the peac known as La Ceja de Alpuente. There seems to be a harmoni mix of natural landscape with a rich culture heritage to be found in the eighteen towns and some twenty villages in the district.

Apart from its historic and artistic heritage and natural beauty, the Los Serranos district is well know for its hospitality, its extensive festivities calendar and tasty cuisine.
