What to see in Corbera
Corbera, in the Ribera Baixa about 35 km from Valencia, clusters under its 11th-century Muslim castle. The castle, raised over Roman remains on a promontory, was called a crow's nest for its strategical view over the plain and the coast.
At the Sant Miquel hermitage, the Arab tower is the second listed monument of the town. In the streets, the Sants Vicents parish, built in 1940-1953 replacing the 1596 church, keeps the Mare de Déu del Castell image. January fiestas honour Sants Vicents from 20 to 23 January, and September honours the Verge del Castell.
Half a day does the town well: castle climb in the morning for the plain and coast views, Arab tower and parish church after. Corbera pairs with Sueca or Cullera on a Ribera Baixa route, and the castle hill suits walkers used to firm shoes and water. The town is listed for history and views, and the hill repays the climb.
