Plaza de la Sequiota
The heart and original core of El Palmar, right beside the church, where the village's first barracas were built. It is a calm, pleasant square whose main draw is a picturesque fountain at one end, ringed by cafés and rice restaurants serving the local cuisine. A good starting point for wandering among canals and traditional houses.
El Palmar's first barracas were built beside the church, and that spot is today the Plaza de la Sequiota: the village's original core and a good place to start walking among the canals. It sits in the centre of El Palmar, inside l'Albufera natural park, about 15 km from València.
What to see
It is a small, quiet square with a fountain at one end that ends up in most of the photos. Around it you'll find cafés and rice restaurants serving the area's cooking: arroz a banda, eel all i pebre, Valencian paella. It works as a starting point and as an excuse to sit down for lunch.
The surroundings
From the square run the streets that lead to the Fishermen's Community building and the rest of the old centre. It's a plan that fits well with other pretty villages near València for a day escape.
