ZONE
We could say that Xàtiva has been expanding on its west side. An imaginary line would split the city in two halves; the southern half would be the old town; the northern half, starting from Alameda Jaume I (where the town hall is located) would be the new zone, where the shops are located. There is also an expansion, produced from the second millennium, west of the city, where we could say that it is more about bedroom apartments.
Our apartment is located in the new area, which, in our opinion, is the best. It is very close to Alameda Jaume I (main avenue), the shops, the train, and also about 10 minutes from the tapas area in the old town. They have a "Mercadona" establishment 100 meters away, and a health center, with a 24-hour emergency service. 300 meters.
They can be in 7 minutes in the cinema of the commercial center or in the polygon, in any of its stores.
WHAT TO DO?
As for tapas, the ideal area is the Plaza del Mercado and surroundings. On Fridays and Saturdays it is full of people.
If you want to go to the cinema, you must go to the mall that is on the outskirts of the city, on the northern part, called "Plaza Mayor". There you will also find restaurants and commercial stores. It is located in a polygon where there are also other large businesses such as Mercadona, Family Cash (gigantic), Kiwoko, Worten, Aki, Maxcolchon, Aldy, Decatlon, etc.
As for the festivities, the main festivities of the town are from August 15 to 20, La Fira d'Agost. You will find attractions, street vendors, outdoor theater and children's entertainment. In September, every week they celebrate their parties, one by one, the neighborhoods of the old town. In December we set up the largest Bethlehem in Spain, in the Alameda Jaume I, which can be visited free of charge inside, and there are also many attractions for children and adults. In March, the Fallas

THE CITY OF XÀTIVA
Xàtiva has the charm of being considered a city (and having the facilities that this entails), but also having a small number of residents and a beautiful old town, which makes, in turn, transmit the charm of a town .
The first human settlement of this city takes us to the year 127,000 BC, knowledge that we acquired through the archaeological explorations carried out in the so-called "Black Cova". It was a Roman city and on the Via Augusta, between Cádiz and Rome. Of course, it was also part of the Muslim domination, of which there are vestiges of a palace on the side of the mountain that leads to the castle of the city. Yes, Xàtiva has a beautiful castle, the result of different reconstructions during the periods of its extensive history. The history of this one begins with the Iberian constructions (300 ac), happening through Roman, Arab, and later modifications, after the conquest of Jaume I in Century XIII and also during Century XX. To climb the castle, we recommend the use of the urban train (only for this purpose), whose base is in "La fuente del León", very close to the town hall. If you want to go on foot, to enjoy the wonderful views, remains and hermitages of the mountainside, we recommend good footwear, since many citizens use this route as their daily sports training.
On the slope of this mountain there is one of the oldest churches of the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, "Sant Feliu" dated in 1265 (with an atrium of columns different from each other, from ancient Roman buildings); the Bellveret viewpoint, the remains of the already named Arab palace; the hermitage of Sant Josep (XVIII-XIX); an old refrigerator excavated in rock (XVII-XVIII); the Cova dels Coloms (with an altar and a virgin, where pilgrimages are made)
Xàtiva also has the peculiarity of being the cradle mother of two Christian Popes, both of the same family: Calixto III and his nephew, Alejandro VI. His house is in the Alexander VI plaza, although it can not be visited inside.
In 1591 he saw the birth of the enormous and world-renowned artist of the Baroque genre, the painter José de Ribera, known as El Españoleto (Lo Spagnoletto).
